Turning a Succulent into a Bonsai? Fockea Edulis Bonsai Experiment!

Hi guys! 😊
This is Fockea edulis, a succulent from southern Africa. It’s not your typical bonsai material, but that’s what makes it interesting. Its thick root, or caudex, stores water and gives it a unique look.
When I bought it, I wasn’t thinking of turning it into a bonsai.
But once I removed it from the pot, the root caught my attention.
It looked like it was asking for a pot of its own. Not traditional, maybe even odd, but worth trying.
Experimenting is part of what makes bonsai exciting. Sometimes you fail, sometimes you find something unique. Tradition is important, but it shouldn’t become a cage.
Fockea edulis is a climber in nature, it loves to explore. ust like us when we let go of rigid rules.
Its vines will twist and turn, following light and space. It won’t ever look like a pine or a maple, and that’s fine.
Every species has something special to offer. This might end up ugly, or surprisingly beautiful.
But above all, the plant must be healthy and the process should bring joy.
Bonsai isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection.
You, the tree, and time itself working together. So let’s not be afraid to play a little.
To test, to twist, to imagine new paths. Even if some purists frown at it.
What matters is the bond you grow, not just the shape you make.
See you in the next experiment. Thank You!
