① Root shaping: After shallow planting or deep planting, the soil can be gradually removed, so that the roots are exposed and the roots are exposed, making the bonsai look more quaint and natural. If you put a stone in the middle of the root, after years of cultivation, the root and the stone are embedded together, which increases the interest.

② Trunk shaping: the young trunk is smooth without cracks. In order to show the old posture, artificial trauma can be used. For example, peeling off part of bark, exposing xylem, imitating the image of natural scars. If the trunk is too straight, it will appear dull and can be shaped by bending, showing a majestic posture weathered in nature. Generally, before the branches harden, aluminum wires are made into a certain arc, or the direction is adjusted by traction. Some trunks are thin, so we can use the attaching method, that is, attach a dead old trunk to the thin trunk, cleverly disguise it, and improve the ornamental value.

(3) Shaping of branches: mainly binding, supplemented by pruning. Lead wire, iron wire, etc. Can be wound on branches, so that twigs and wires become a whole. Using the characteristic that the conductor is not easy to change after bending, the branch can be made into various bending shapes until the curvature of the branch is fixed. Thick branches, combined with traction and fixation. In order to prevent the bark of the branch from being injured, tape can be wrapped around the lead wire. The binding time should not be too long, because the metal wire will sink into the bark of the branch after the branch grows thick, which will not only affect the growth of the branch, but also affect the appearance.

(4) Picking buds and leaves: In order to keep potted Pinus tabulaeformis plants short and unchanged in shape, when new buds are tender, they can be picked by hand. Pine trees germinate only once a year, usually in March. Because of the strong germination ability of pine trees, all the terminal buds can be removed, and the lateral buds can be kept about 1/2. Picking leaves can make branches thinner. In order to keep ventilation and light, and ensure the green leaves, you can pick the needles scattered at the base and leave the leaves at the top in the instrument, which is dense and conducive to growth.
