There's a chance that you tricked it into thinking it's spring, for lack of better terms.

It's something I recently learned about in reference to Jade plants that come inside for winter. If you allow them to get a certain small bit of cold before pulling inside, the temperature shifts will force blooms to occur.

I don't know much more about it, and I'm sure I'm botching the proper concepts here, but it sounds like what you're experiencing.

I have a couple larger jade (crassula ovata) plants that live outside in the summer and inside in the winter. This year they both started flowering right as I brought them inside. When I read a bit more about it, it seems like a normal technique/trick that folks use to push out flowers.

I've never seen them flower before now! Not sure what else may have the same tendencies.

This is gorgeous! Reminds me of Chrono Trigger. Running through the woods to get to/from the castle and grabbing that shelter from the bushes each time now is a warm memory.

Thanks for sharing for the uninitiated. This has been a delightful community to observe. Excited to learn more.

Also, I think the 'souls' in the title really sells me on the idea of a 'Canadian Souls' game in the flavor of the Dark Souls universe. So if you want a job in game dev, you might have a solid shot.

Here's a shameless pic of mine!

I'm in the process of bringing inside my couple big jades. Yours is so happy! Great work through and through, that takes a long time. Beautiful!

This is why learning is fun. You're doing the work of the finest humans. Love to see this and damnit, I want to know more to participate. I think it's working...

I'm excited for you and to follow along! Looks to be a great start of a project.

This tree has withstood my poking and prodding so far! It also 'grew' a whole lot faster too.

Appreciate ya!

I'm glad you asked! It turned out pretty decent. I'm still struggling with some of the lower branches, but it's still mostly a twig, so there's time.

Thank you!

I'm trying to encourage some trunk thickening while slowly choosing the main branches and overall shape. I try to let this tree grow out thick and dense with very little trimming, then chop it back to a state that will let light through to the lower foliage. That, or chop it when I need room on the rack or more cuttings in the propagation station. Rinse and repeat that a couple times a year and we're here.

That mostly means clipping off upward growing new shoots to push that growth into lateral or more downward growing shoots.

Holler if you have any other questions or comments! I love trees!

You and me both! There's a special comfort to it. A warmth, almost. Thanks for the kind words.

This scene has such a distinct feeling to it through that color palette. I love this!

I hadn't noticed that until pointed out! I love it and now can't unsee it.

There are dozens of us. Unfortunately it's an interest that results in disappointment consistently. Yeehaw Sega milking it!

Perfectly said. It truly is a shame. My memories of playing PSO on the Dreamcast, ethernet cord strung across the room and all, will always be warm and fuzzy. So at least there's that.

Thanks for the kind words! Thread linked here.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience! I’m learning that I need to both better organize my photos and find an alternative to imgur for creating/posting albums.

Here’s an album of pictures from a little over a year of growth.

Prior to these pictures it wasn’t much to speak of, just a little cutting in some water or a start in a 4" pot. When they’re that small/young, I do my best to just let them explode with growth prior to poking at them with my ideas and torture.

Again, I appreciate your patience as I get my stuff together! I’m happy to touch on any points with this project or others. Thanks for the interest, this has been a fun project.

Thank you! I'm delighted by it and it's lemony smell.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'm tickled you commented on it, I really enjoyed how it turned out! Thought it was pretty cheeky.
