How long can the bonsai wire be removed?

As we all know, making bonsai trees often requires the help of iron wires such as aluminum wire and copper wire to complete the auxiliary modeling. The use of iron wire to shape the branches is a common means in the bonsai shaping process, generally adopting the climbing process of first main branch, then subordinate branch, then twig, from bottom to top, from inside to outside, from thick to thin. Finally, the shape of the branches can achieve the modeling effect we need. So, how long can the bonsai wire be removed?

Usually, the branches of bonsai trees are designed with iron wire, which cannot be removed within a certain period of time. Because if you take off too early, the branches will quickly return to the original state, naturally did not achieve the purpose of climbing modeling, bonsai appreciation will not be improved. We use wire to shape the branches, the ultimate goal is to increase the diversity of bonsai modeling, and improve the ornamental value of bonsai as a whole.

After the process of winding wire climbing for the branches that need to be modeled, the original generally needs to wait until the branches are grown in a fixed direction and shaped before they can be dismantled, which often takes several months. at least one growing season needs to be completed. If you obviously see the auspiciousness of the wire trapped in the bark during this period, you can wait for the opportunity to remove the wire, while the climbing basically tends to take shape at this time.

Otherwise, if the iron wire is not removed in time, the iron wire will gradually fall into the branches with the continuous growth and development of branches, which will often seriously affect or restrict the growth of bonsai trees, and may eventually lead to branches drying up and leaves falling off. it may even endanger the life of the bonsai tree, resulting in the death of the whole tree. Of course, this is the result that we need to try our best to avoid.

However, in the process of preparing to remove the wire, we also need to be cautious, the operation should be in line with the standard, do not pull it off directly, otherwise it will also cause varying degrees of damage to the branches. If it is light, it may tear off the bark as well as the leaves, and if it is serious, it may be this branch. Whether it is severe or severe damage, it will often have a certain impact on the ornamental of the plant, at the same time, it may also cause poor growth of the plant, let alone cause harm to yourself when removing the wire.

It should be noted that if in the process of dismantling the wire, it is found that part of the place has been trapped in the branches and it is not convenient to remove it, then we cannot force it off alive. Instead, it should be removed gently to avoid causing too much damage to the branches, and after successfully removing the wire, in order to avoid wound infection and promote wound healing, it is recommended to apply some wound healing agents or disinfectants on the wounds left after removing the wire.
