Bonsai Care Bonsai care is a more delicate process than an average house plant. Most important to remember is watering, fertilizing, & location! Concave Cutter An imperative tool for any bonsai enthusiast. Cuts branches that are flush to the trunk. Minimizes damage to the tree, leading to rapid recovery time. Due to the closeness of the snip, it is almost untraceable afterwards, making the hole blend with the rest. Jin Pliers Made with short, powerful jaws. Aids in placing or dismantling the wire from the bonsai plant. Another thing jin pliers can be used for is stripping the bark of the tree. This is done for visual appeal to create a deadwood/aging effect on the trunk. Trimming Shear Fits into tight spaces, allowing for precise defoliation. These are meant to help trim and thin out the plant, without damaging any tender shoots or blossoms, while still reaching the desired part of the plant you want to take off. Trunk Splitter Splits trunk in order to strengthen it. Typically, the trunk is separated into two pieces and then held together with wire. This tool makes it easier to manipulate the shape of the tree and branches. Root Pick Break through the soil while leaving the roots unharmed. The sharp point is great for carving down into the soil. Its smooth and round sides are perfect for the safety of the roots while removing the soil around them. Pruning Shear Great for the removal of the branches as well as the leaves on the plant. Mainly used for pruning the top of the plant and the roots. The wide grip of the handle allows for the shears to do this with larger parts of the plant. Root Rake Help remove and replant bonsai. Loosen roots with the rake to make it easier to dislodge. Use the flat edge to pack soil between the roots for stability. Heavy Duty Trimming Shear Great for trimming the tree so branches and leaves grow more evenly. The removal of outgrown parts maintains its size and shape, while also encouraging new growth. Knob Cutter Hollows out incisions made by a branch cutter. Also known as "knuckle cutter," it is known for its spherical-shaped blades. Its design allows for its user to work it like a chisel in order to gouge out excess plant matter. Leaf Cutter This is used for the removal of unwanted leaves or buds. Induced growth where dead leaves are snipped. Small and easy to maneuver for quick defoliation. Root Cutter Cuts through thick root with minimal damage. The steel blades are meant for severing the denser wood fibers commonly found in roots. Its flat cut can also be used to split the trunk, if so desired.
