How to make a bonsai of Gagaku no Mai

Direct dry

Straight-trunk bonsai is the simplest to make. During daily maintenance, you only need to prune the branches and keep the main trunk of the plant strong and the leaves lush. Although the straight trunk style is simple, it is concise and elegant. Choosing a flowerpot with ancient style and placing it in a corner of the living room is also very elegant.

Curved Dry

The production of curved trunk bonsai is a little more complicated than that of straight trunk bonsai. When pruning, the main trunk should be cut off at the branching point to allow the branches to continue growing. The winding branches will gradually grow thicker and healthier during the continuous pruning process, adding a different flavor.

The production of curved trunk bonsai generally relies on the plasticity of metal wire. Care should be taken not to embed the metal wire into the plant's epidermis, otherwise it will easily grow tumors and cause damage.

Slanted dry type

To make a slanted trunk bonsai, you need to cut off the main trunk during pruning, wait for it to sprout new branches, then cut off the excess branches, leaving two to three branches, cut off the small branches, and keep the branches tilted. It can be tied with metal wire.

Cliff Style

The cliff-style bonsai gives people a sense of simplicity and strength, and is loved by many flower lovers. Cliff bonsai requires pruning at the right time. When the trunk and branches of the plant have grown very long, cut off the trunk to transfer the growth force to the branches. Under the influence of gravity, the branches will continue to grow and bend downward.

The cliff-style bonsai of Dancing with Grace has branches hanging down from the flowerpot, which has a kind of vigorous power and is very unique.
