bonsai wire amazon
Wiring is, besides pruning, the most important design technique for shaping a bonsai. It allows you to influence the growth and shape of a tree from the beginning and to shape it according to your own ideas. For this you wrap special bonsai wire around trunks or branches and bend them. Over time the wired plant parts will thicken and lignify in the desired shape and can then be removed again. This process is repeated again and again for years until the tree is completely shaped as you like it.
Bonsai wire cutters and pliers are good tools for this purpose but also normal scissors or a pair of craft wirecutters will do the trick.
