Yesterday I was doing some low stress training. Put some pics up already of the one I'm calling "Bonsai" . Today's pic are from the one next to the runner's may she shall be called "Olympia" .

So I have adorned Olympia with some bangles , tethering the stem to the fan . The ring which is adapted from tho old style prams ( strollers) . The ones where you lock the frame by pulling a ring over the hinge . Therefore locking it into place . They are on just loose enough to hold . Enabling the bangles to move up with the growth of stem head . Eventually they will pop out and up , I would of removed the fan by then and I will leave them to reach for the sky . Then a quick crown to double flowers and increasing harvest .

I made the bangles by wrapping wire around the barbecue lighter as the former . The cut using wire cutters at 1&half the turns (approx) . They need opening out by gently pulling to increase the length . Then just carefully wind or wrap over .

Totally away from the subject in hand . I am currently nursing my woof at the moment , as he has been coughing quite a bit recently. Heaving a touch too often too 🥺.
Maybe he has a cold or eaten something off the ground like I've told him how many times not to .

I have ran some wire around some screws , on bucket rim . This will be useful.
Using the 'corkscrew' style wire wrap . Around several stem and trunk ( at nodes) in order for training.

Loosely so as not to snap ,squeeze or crush . I find hold the cable alongside an manipulation combined with patience.

Here is Bonsai, parading her new look . She has been shaped around the bucket by around 30°. Basically the anchor point has moved . I choose to leave most of the new-lings and only tied back about half of my intended .

There are still a few little bits to do over the next couple of weeks. Once her head is opposed to her bum . . . I shall encourage her natural flow . Obviously once I have crowned a few places , turn them into clones (y)
