Binding methods and skills of bonsai
Bonsai binding is an art form. By binding and shaping the trunk and branches of plants, it presents a unique shape and posture. The following are some common methods and techniques for binding bonsai:

Choose suitable plants: Bonsai binding is suitable for trees or shrubs, and curved and elastic trunks and branches are selected for modeling.

Solid foundation: after selecting plants, we should carry out basic pruning and shaping, remove redundant branches and leaves, make the trunk clearly visible and ensure the stability of plants.

Binding method:

Bundle branches: Use strapping material (such as copper wire) to bind slender branches together, and constantly adjust the position and angle of branches to achieve the required modeling effect.

Connection and binding: When multiple branches need to be connected, connectors (such as metal clips or coils) can be used for fixing, and attention should be paid to maintaining the stability of the connection parts.

Cutting and binding: For thick trunks or branches, cutting tools (such as saws and scissors) can be used for cutting and pruning, and then binding materials can be used to fix the incision.

Fixed bracket: In the process of bonsai binding, wooden sticks and bamboo poles can be used as brackets to bind and fix the trunk or branches of plants in a suitable position.

Maintenance and pruning: after the binding is completed, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and pruning, including removing redundant branches and leaves, keeping the balance of form and proportion, and giving enough nutrients and water.
