This specimen represents a highly unconventional attempt to cultivate Beach Spinach as a bonsai. It features characteristic fleshy, green leaves and small yellow flowers on reddish, herbaceous stems. Maintaining a woody structure and traditional bonsai aesthetic would be extremely challenging for this naturally creeping plant.
