Points to consider while wiring a bonsai:

• When wiring a plant, always run the wires in the same direction. Crossing wires is undesirable because it increases the pressure on the crossed parts, causing the wire to cut in much more quickly in that region.
• If only one branch is to be wired, to secure it, tie a few loops around the trunk to provide an anchor point.
• Place two wires of the same or different gauges around a trunk or branch for added support when bending heavy branches or a trunk for added wiring strength.
• If you wish to wire a branch down, put the wire across the top of the branch's junction where it joins the trunk. If you wish to elevate the branch, run the wire below the branch's junction where it joins the trunk.
• If it's completely covered in wire, there's no room for movement, hence limit the amount of wire used.
