How to make a pine bonsai?

1, select the wire with appropriate thickness. The thickness of the metal wire is generally 1/3 of the thickness of the flat branch base. Too thick and flat is not flexible and beautiful, and it is easy to break branches; There is not enough tension to pass through the rules, so it cannot be rolled into the required curvature.

2. Fixed starting point. When winding, the quality of the fixed starting point and the appropriateness of the fixed method have great influence on the success of winding. If the starting point is not fixed firmly, the conductor will slide on the branch, which will not only weaken the bending force, but also damage the bark of the moving part. The fixing method should be flexibly mastered according to the specific situation of the tied branches. The commonly used methods are burying method, pressing method, knotting method, hook method, dead branch method and double branch method.

3. Grasp the density and direction. After fixing the starting point, pinch the metal wire and the branch with your thumb and forefinger, so that the metal wire and the branch form a 45-degree angle, and slowly wind the metal wire around the bark near the branch; The winding density should be appropriate, too thin or too dense, or uneven, and the winding effect is not ideal. At the same time, pay attention to the direction of wire winding. If you want to bend the branch to the right, the wire should be wound clockwise. If bent to the left, the wire will be wound counterclockwise.

4, double winding. If the branches are thick and there is no metal wire with proper thickness at hand, double-strand winding can be used to strengthen the tension. Sometimes the trunk has been coiled with metal wire, and two branches close to each other on the trunk have been coiled with another metal wire, and there are double wires on the trunk between the two branches. The winding direction of the metal wire winding branches on the trunk must be the same as that of the original metal wire winding the trunk.

5. tying order. The order of winding with wires should be the trunk first, then the branches. The order of tying branches should be the first branch, then the last branch.

6, the method of bending. After winding, if you need to bend the trunk, you should bend the trunk first, then bend the branches, from bottom to top, step by step. Don't bend too much, lest you break the branches. It is necessary to make the inner side of the bending part have no metal wire, and the outer side is just on the metal wire, so that the branches can be protected and the bent branches are not easy to break.

7, all half tied. All in one, that is, tie up all the trunks and branches; Semi-binding means that the trunk has a certain shape and does not need to be tied. It only needs to shape the branches in several ways.
