The bending skills of bonsai

There are straight bars to bend and curved bars to add bends, and curved bars to straighten. You can bend with soft brown wire, cloth belt, hard copper wire, aluminum wire, and you can also rely on shearing. Now, of course, it is basically a combination of several ways.

First of all, and the most easily overlooked step, the branches that need to be bent are moderately bent back and forth, so that the cortex of the branches is separated from the wood and becomes more flexible.

To make an inappropriate analogy, bend the wire back and forth, whether the wire will soften temporarily.

It doesn't matter whether it is appropriate or not, as long as we understand it. Many friends do not do this step, the result is either bent not in place, or broken by branches.

Then if the branch is thinner and softer, it can be bent by winding the aluminum wire directly, or by bending with brown wire. Bending is not a direct bend, but a clockwise bend.

If the branch is thicker and harder, it is necessary to tie brown wire into the entire bending position and wind the aluminum wire (there is a distinction in traditional techniques, but now bonsai people are all used in combination) to increase the force on the branch to prevent it from being bent too quickly and breaking it off. Multi-layer operation can be done if necessary, first tie the brown wire, attach the aluminum wire, then tie it, and then winding the aluminum wire.

If it is still unable to bend, you can also break the rod, cut, slotting and other techniques to help bend, we should also pay attention to increase the force on the branch, and smear the chemical coating film, in order to prevent the branch from infection and decay caused by damage.

At the same time, you can help with bending with the help of other items or tools, such as bends, iron pieces, heavy objects and so on. With the help of these tools, we should also pay attention to increase the force on the branches and protect the bark from being damaged.

If possible, the bonsai material can also be wound around bamboo, wood and other perishable objects, reference vines wrapped around trees to make natural bending, or steel bars and other hard objects can be twisted into the desired shape, and then the bonsai material can be tied to it.

Bending also needs to pay attention to, according to the flexibility of the tree size, adjust the bending range, do not act too hastily, for bonsai materials that cannot be put in place at once, should be put in place step by step.
