Training,Pruning and pinching

• After planting, the plant is trained according to the style of bonsai.
• The branches or stem can be bent in the desired direction and form with the help of a copper wire which is removed once the required shape is formed.
• Sometimes polythene tape can also be used for the purpose.


Pruning and pinching

The new growth is pinched once or twice and the branches are pruned sometimes to maintain the shape of the tree.
