How to make bonsai is as follows:

1. Material selection.

To make miniature bonsai, materials with small branches and leaves, easy to put into pots, unique root systems, beautiful flowers and fruits, and beautiful shapes are generally used. Commonly used ones include five-needle pine, small-leaf podocarpus, true cypress, black pine, melon box box, phoenix tail bamboo, thin-leaf holly, June snow, asparagus, brome, southern bamboo, etc.

2. Shape.

Making miniature bonsai requires considerable patience. Before making, you should know the postures and habits of various trees, such as the back of your hand. Shapes should be highly generalizable. According to the characteristics of the tree trunk, some finishing work should be done appropriately to make it dense and layered. Common modeling methods include brown wire tying, wire wrapping, branch folding, climbing and knotting, and hanging upside down. Using the wire wrapping method in plastic surgery is simple.

Generally speaking, tree shaping should be done in early spring. For specific operations, a wire of appropriate diameter should be selected according to the thickness of the branch to wrap around the branch, and then bend the branch into the desired shape. When the wire is wrapped, it must be close to the bark and the density is appropriate. The winding direction should be at an angle of 45° to the diameter of the branch pipe. After 1 to 2 years, when the trunk is basically formed, the leads can be removed. Unnecessary, cluttering branches should be cut short or removed.

3. Selection of materials for miniature bonsai.

We know that when choosing materials for making miniature bonsai, after determining the type of materials for making miniature bonsai, we should focus on the shape rather than the small size of the plant when choosing the material. First of all, we should see that the piles should be thick, short, small at the top and large at the bottom to maximize the visual impact; secondly, small leaves and dense branches should be taken into account.

The small leaves are not covered, and the dense branches are easy to shape; finally, it depends on the shape of the crown. The crown should be full. The branches and claws on display should have the smell of dragons and phoenixes, which is a good material. Additionally, when choosing plant material, consider the pots and pieces that go with it. Only when everything is ready can we produce high-quality products.
