I've posted this method a few times, but i don't think I've ever dedicated a thread to it. In addition to that the last set of pictures were lost in the BB upgrade. So here it is again. Hopefully easier to understand.
This method is pretty much adapted from a method I've seen in a High Times article a few years back. I've practiced this method with many different plants and have had great success. The art of bonsai is not limited to just tress, it can be done with virtually any plant.
The first picture is meant to be read in rows left to right.
One starts with an initial cut, then makes two, then four, then eight and so on depending on how big of a bonsai and how many branches are desired.
The red lines indicate points at which cuts are made. Whatever is cut off can be discarded. The cut have to be made as close to the first set of leaves on the branch/stem as possible without disturbing the leaf stems. The rest should be pretty straight forward.
The fan leaves can be left intact if desired, but if stealth is desired and nosy people/neighbors are a problem then consider trimming the fan leaves.
Again the red lines are cut points. The trick is to remove all the fingers of the fan leaf except the middle one.
The plant sustains just fine with or without the fan leaf fingers because it is so small. This part of the bonsai process is merely a matter of security and aesthetics.
