How to trim bonsai
Pay attention to the flower shape when pruning. Generally, the wood is cut into a hollow shape, and the branches are spread out to facilitate ventilation and lighting. If the place is not big enough, it should be properly controlled and not too open. On the main branch, leave strong branches, and small branches can be cut off from the roots.

Generally, it is advisable to cut off two-thirds of the strong branches to control the crazy growth of branches and the excessive size of trees. To leave branches with buds and cut off empty branches, each kind of flowers and trees has a special pruning method.

After pruning and shaping, the new stump head must be cultivated before germination, because the tree is still in dormancy at this time, and the absorption and evaporation are not significant. For example, elm, pine and cypress can be transplanted before and after severe cold, and murraya murraya and Bromus can be transplanted before and after beginning of spring.
