Sealing Cuts with Aluminum Foil

A Happy Bonsai reader asked me how do I attach aluminum foil on my bonsai trees when I seal cuttings (refer to post – Sealing Cuts of Bonsai Trees).   Although it seems obvious to me, it probably isn’t so clear for many others.  So here, I have taken a photo of the aluminum foil that I use for sealing cuttings of my bonsai trees.  Yes, these are aluminum foil tapes with a removable paper liner.

The aluminum foil conforms well to irregular and curved surfaces.  More advantages: waterproof sealing and heat reflection 😉

Hello. Im a bonsaist from brazil! Nice website! So, i have just one question: how can the foil attach so good to the scars, just like in the photos? I had to get around the branches so that the foil was attatched, otherwise, it would fall, like it was needing some glue.

Thanks, and nice tip!!!

That is a great idea! Is it just a regular aluminum foil (like you would wrap leftovers in) or is it Bonsai specific? I’ve never heard of self adhesive foil before
