Our Bonsai Tree must be pruned properly.If we do not take special care and follow each Bonsai Trees unique pruning instructions , we may cause more harm than good.


With so many different Bonsai Trees, its always best to make sure that you are pruning your Bonsai tree at the right time , without taking too much -or not enough.

Conventionally, there are a couple of ways to prune your Bonsai Tree.

1. Finger Pruning
2. Leaf Pruning

Finger Pruning

Finger pruning is best used on Bonsais without the big green leaves. We simply take the part that we want to prune and hold it between our thumb and forefinger.

Then we gently twist the part of the Bonsai we wish to remove and separate it from the tree. What we want to do, is keep the Bonsai trees shape and look. And when we use our fingers, the Bonsai is left with a more natural looking shape.

Leaf Pruning

Leaf Pruning is sometimes known as , "Defoliating". Basically, we will use scissors to remove the leaves from the trees.

By cutting right where the leaf begins, with the scissors, we leave enough of a branch for the Bonsai to buidl up more , thicker leaves.

After 2 seasons of trimming- or "Leaf Pruning"- our Bonsais with look 3 times fuller , thicker and greener. Best used on deciduous and tropical trees.
