1. Pruning time: As long as the temperature is suitable, the golden branches and jade leaves can be pruned all year round, preferably in spring and autumn.

2. Pruning tools: Use sterilized sharp scissors.

3. Prune branches and leaves: cut off cross branches, inward branches, overlapping branches and parallel branches, and cut long branches in time.

4. Plastic banding: Bonsai modeling should be based on pruning, supplemented by banding, with iron wire wrapped around the branches, bending the branches into the desired shape.
