Tips for making Dwarf Jade into an indoor Bonsai?
So my dad has recently got me into Bonsai’s and I while looking at his bonsai book and saw that a Jade could be one I thought I should do it, I know mostly how to care for Jades, but have no idea how to make one a bonsai.

You have two options to start. The easy option, go shopping to find one - can cost a bit and might be hard to find.
Option two, take an inexpensive Jade and transplant into a large container and let it grow wild for two years (you want the trunk to thicken). After that you can transplant into a smaller bonsai style pot and aggressively prune the branches.
I’m doing option two with a few different trees, it takes time but rewarding. Read about how jades grow and learn about fertilizing them, that way you can push its growth in those two years.
I can take a look through my bonsai books for any info I might be able to find on jades if you’re interested.
