(2) Go to the flower bonsai market to buy 2-3-year-old seedlings or buy potted cypress trees with a certain aesthetic feeling, and then process and shape them according to creativity.

2. Bonsai modeling

Cypress is suitable for cliff type (Jishan Huayao), inclined stem type, bent stem type and horizontal stem type. When making cypress bonsai, Pinza should be given priority to, supplemented by pruning. Panza can be made of metal wire or brown wire. After the outline of bonsai is rolled, the twigs should be cut short or cut off from the base according to the needs of modeling. Midsummer and early autumn are the seasons when Sabina vulgaris grows vigorously. If the sap is tied, trimmed and shaped at this time, it will easily flow out and affect its growth. Therefore, bundling, pruning and modeling should be carried out in late winter or early spring. Generally, Sabina vulgaris takes about 2 years to fix. If the constraint is removed prematurely, the branches will bounce back and return to their original state. If it is removed too late, it will hurt branches, affect growth, leave traces and be unsightly.
