I am a beginner, and I need some help. I don't have very much money so I'm mostly experimenting with making bonsai from tree cuttings, or shoots right now, and was hoping people could give me some pointers on any of a few different topics:
-I'm making a jade cutting tomorrow and I understand my best bet for rooting it is just sticking it in some water. Any pointers on what to do after that for jade? they're really different from trees and I feel like establishing Nebari might be different. What are some good techniques to get a good Nebari going?
-I was given the opportunity to take some shoots of a cutleaf staghorn sumac today and i took them and re-potted them in deep pots to get them growing and to establish some Nebari. some of them are already attached to some pretty thick roots which i had to take out of the ground. what is the best way to establish a good Nebari?
-What is the most effective method for making wood cuttings for 名媛直播? I have a lot of different trees I can make cuttings from, but what is the best most efficient way to establish a Nebari from a cutting?
Cheers,
Foxall

Jade grow roots best if you let the cuttings dry in for a few days, so that the wound is fully dry. Then place them in fairly dry substrate,and forget them for a month. Once you see the plant start to wrinkle, give it a bit of water. Note, jade are not the best plants for bonsai.
Getting a nebari takes time. Get your cuttins. Let them grow. Every year or two, lift them from the ground. Trim the thickest roots. Plant them back. Over time, this should create a decent nebari. So by the time your cutting has grown into a tree with decent trunk you have a decent rootspread. Also see:
