Bonsai seeds do not exist; tree seeds do. Labeling bonsai seeds is merely a means of increasing their price.
On a bonsai, training wire is used to keep the branches in place.

It might be possible to improve it by adjusting the quantity. This is an excellent starter set for determining how you would use this wire and which sizes would be worth purchasing separately. I use the wire to shape citrus trees that are still young. The marketing makes it clear, but make sure you understand that each size has the same _weight_, so you'll have 23 meters of 1 mm wire and 2 meters of 2 mm wire. The picture of the wire is after I've used it for a while and have used up all of the 3 mm wire (I'll have to reorder from another company because this one doesn't sell wire separately that I could find). ) The wire is very easy to cut and bend. Working with it is a lot of fun: ) Citrus will manipulate a mature but flexible branch that is about 2x as thick as the wire, and you can add an extra wire to help hold a branch that is a little too thick or strong. br>br>On "beginner usability," just a word of caution. If you've done your homework, you should already be aware that leaving the wire on the growing plant for an extended period of time can cause the wire to bite into the branch and leave unsightly marks (especially for bonsai!). The final image serves as a reminder that "too long" may be much shorter than you think! In less than three months, I was able to achieve those results. Citrus, on the other hand, tends to grow at a faster rate than slower-growing bonsai. The moral of the story is that If the marks concern you, keep a close eye on them. (By contrast, I wired a young juniper bonsai 5 months ago and it has yet to outgrow the wire. )br>br>I'm glad I bought it. Unless I use it for something else, I'll probably keep that 1 mm wire for a long time. Because my trees are quickly outgrowing these thicknesses, I'm ordering more 3 mm and 4 mm wire right now. br>br>Additional information for the company: a starter kit containing, say, three 5 meters each of 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm would be a great alternative product that would be more likely to be repurchased because each roll up would be used more evenly.
For my purposes, wire was ideal. I'm new to bonsai and wanted to improve the training of my jade plant (to grow vertically rather than drooping over as it usually does). This kit came with all of the wire diameters I needed, plus a little extra. I still have a lot of material left over for future projects. br>This wire kit has exceeded my expectations!.
Because aluminum wire was too soft to work with at first, I mostly used copper wire. I decided to give aluminum wire another chance, and it did not let me down. It has a firm texture and a consistent diameter, as well as an even color, making it ideal for displaying trees. The fact that it is reusable appeals to me the most, as it saves money.
This wire is just like any other bonsai wire - A big thumbs up. Because Amazon said it would arrive the next day, I decided to buy it. That was not the case. I bought this for my 85-year-old father while I was out of town for a few days and was disappointed by the late delivery. Once again, Amazon has struck.
I wasn't sure what I'd need to get started, so I bought this starter kit. I've only used three of the sizes (the smallest, largest, and middle), but I'm very happy with them. I was able to wrap them around various branches of various sizes and bend them as needed. I had a lot of fun with this project and plan to do more Bonsai in the future. I am confident that I will purchase more.
(Grow a bonsai tree) Anodized Aluminum Bonsai Training Wire (Grow a bonsai tree) I do stock the smaller sizes of anodized wire that these people offer, but the wire I have is half hard, which isn't strong enough for this job. It's easy to work with even in larger diameters, and it cuts well. The wire is iodized, which makes it less prone to oxidation, and the color matches most of my plants.
I'm no expert because I'm new to the hobby, but I like it because it comes in a variety of sizes, allowing me to experiment with what works best for me. The color blends in nicely with the foliage. It appeals to my tastes.
x bonsai is the first of a series of bonsai trees. er and not the best wire wrapper, but it turned out pretty well so far, and the wires are barely visible unless you're putting the bonzeye on it. Lemon cypress, thank you for a wonderful experience. It has a pleasant aroma.
