(1) time. Mainly used for flowers and trees such as Spring Festival, Tanchun and Forsythia. Start with the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, keep the short section of about 10 ~ 12 cm as the trunk, select three evenly distributed lateral branches after germination, and cut off the rest. When the three lateral branches grow to a certain length, they are evenly tied to the beat made in advance and tied well. In the process of branch growth, leave a bud every 5 ~ 7 cm, and wipe off the remaining buds in time to avoid too many branches and affect the appearance.

(2) Flexibility. Also called vertical bending. Such as plum blossom, peach blossom, poinsettia, Xifu begonia and so on. Branches are generally bent in an "S" shape on the vertical plane by pulling rope to reduce the height of the plant and bend and stretch around or on both sides to form a plant shape with many bends and lively shapes.

(3) Clouds are curved. Also known as flat bending. Such as Luo Hansong and Liu Yuexue. The branches bend horizontally from left to right and are divided into two layers, which makes the plant shape clear, like a cloud and extremely beautiful. This method is often used for bonsai modeling.

(4) dead bend. For some flowers and trees with hard branches, cut them with a knife at the bend before bending, and then make them into broken lines. This dead bend looks like an eagle's claw and is often used when bending up and down.
