Semi-Cascading Baby Jade Beginnings

[lieuz]

Found a baby jade that had a lot of potential. It took a bit but I've been working with quite a bit of jade trees these days and I've gotten the hang of working with them. I noticed as I was styling this tree, there seems to be two perspectives.

Here is what I originally chose as the front, very obvious.

What about this?

I didn't know you could effectively wire dwarf jade - I thought only clip-and-grow was effective. Have you had success with wiring?

Regarding the two views, I prefer the first but I am a novice. Nice little tree.

They are fragile yes, but they can take a bending; well, the newer growth that is. I have had success with wiring jades. Since they are fleshy, they don't really scar as bad, doesn't mean you should leave them on forever; but, the fleshy-ness does allow for some slack on when to remove the wires.
