It is difficult to choose materials. Only by choosing suitable materials can we make cliff bonsai. There are no restrictions on the types of materials. Almost all kinds of trees can be planted, such as Yingchun, Six Trees in Snow, Five-needle Pine, Boxwood, Bromus, Podocarpus, Sabina vulgaris and Elm. But the main requirement is to have a clear main branch, and this main branch should have a certain length, and it does not have to grow out of the pot. As long as it is long enough, post-modeling can give.
In fact, this bonsai itself does not necessarily grow downward, mainly through the early modeling work. The main working steps are as follows: first, after selecting materials, remove the top of the plant to facilitate the cliff-type downward bending design and avoid the influence of the top branches on the appearance; Secondly, using tools to evenly split the branches that need to be bent on the corresponding surface is helpful for the tree to bend better; 3, continuously bending the trunk, the bending direction is opposite to the slot point, and fixing the trunk with iron wire after bending into a suitable curve; The fourth is to trim the roots and put them on the pot. In fact, it is not very difficult from a technical point of view, but mainly practical operation. The hand-drawn sketch of the specific method is shown in the following figure:
