The purpose of winding the branches with iron wire is to give them a proper shape, but the iron wire should be taken off in time after it is formed, otherwise, with the continuous growth of plants, the iron wire will easily grow all the time and be pulled into the bark, resulting in dead branches and dead branches, and the result will fall short. Therefore, the iron wire used for winding and bending should be removed in time.

However, the timing of taking it off must be well grasped. It usually takes about 2-3 months to finalize the design. After the wire is removed, its shape will not change obviously. Removing the wire too early may cause great changes in the original shape, thus failing to achieve our expected results. If you pick it too late, as mentioned above, it may affect the normal growth of plants.

Pay attention to the timing of bonsai stitches;

Plant branches removed prematurely are not fully formed. After the wires are removed, the plants will tend to return to the state before the wires are tied, which will affect the overall shape. If it is not removed in time, the iron wire will be embedded in the bark of plants, endangering the normal growth of plants and affecting the beauty of plants. If it is dismantled at this time, it will be more laborious.

Generally, plant branches can be shaped in about one year after binding. At this point, the wires should be removed in time. If you buy bonsai, you should ask the seller for advice on removing stitches when you buy it. You can also feel with your hands that when the new branch is hard, there is no great restoring force to pull the branch up in the binding direction, indicating that the branch has been shaped and the wire can be removed.
