Shaping Bonsai

General Bonsai Design 

Strive for streaming structure when shaping your bonsai. Imagine how you want your bonsai to look and attempt shaping your bonsai to get a three-dimensional impact. Recollect to select the front, back, and sides of your bonsai before pruning, and remember to inspect the roots that will impact the development of these zones.

For overall planning, the "guideline of thirds" is a basic idea to use as a support for getting a satisfying structure for your bonsai. The "guideline of thirds" guarantees you of getting the correct division of space. In this help to plan, the space that is separated into thirds both evenly and vertically.

Utilize your pruning shears wisely to make changes that profit your bonsai. Fine conformities are made by wiring, twisting, and thinning (extensions removal). Always remember that a gravely composed bonsai won't develop well.

When molding a plant into a bonsai, choose whether the best disposition of the tree is upright, inclined, cascaded, or semi-cascaded. Analyze the general type of the tree and note if it is straight or contorted. Match the potential of a tree to the style that fits it best. Choose whether the base will climb from the dirt level or if you will uncover exposed roots.
