1. Material selection: select plants with branches and rich layering, such as pine, cypress and azalea. These plants should have long trunks and branches, so that they can better show the effect of cliffs when they are made.
2. Prepare the container: according to the size and shape of the selected plants, choose the appropriate bonsai container. The size and shape of the container should match the plants, and the overall layout and viewing angle of the bonsai should also be considered.
3. Modeling: According to the characteristics of the cliff, the plants are trimmed and bound. Pruning is mainly to remove unnecessary branches and make the shape of plants more concise and clear. Panza uses tools such as metal wire or brown silk to bend the branches of plants into the required shape, thus creating a cliff-like posture.
4. Maintenance: After the cliff bonsai is made, it needs to be maintained regularly, including watering, fertilizing, pruning and pest control. In particular, we should pay attention to maintaining the healthy growth of plants, adjusting the posture of plants in time and maintaining the beautiful shape of bonsai.
