Sunny start into the week. Removed some leaves.
13.6.
Used some anodized aluminium bonsai wires to even out the canopy and give lower branches more light. Also it will help to support the branches when they get heavier.
This technique gives lots of control and you can bend each branch in almost every form you like without over stressing any part of the branch too much.
- Be gentle when bending and always use both hands on the wire , not the plant, to avoid breaking off branches
- Have to be super careful with these wires. Their ends are very sharp!
- Leave some room for branches to get thicker
- Be strategic with the wire to not get in the way of bud sites
- Use two branches that are opposed to each other for mor stability and to not stress the stem
