Why Choose Our Raffia?

How to Use Raffia Effectively

Using our raffia is a straightforward process that enhances your bonsai manipulation skills:

  1. Soak the raffia in water to soften the natural fibers.
  2. Combine several strands and tightly wind them around the section of the tree you wish to bend.
  3. For added support, place thick wire underneath the raffia in the direction of the bend.
  4. Wire the branch or trunk as normal and use tools like a branch jack to create and hold the desired bend.
  5. If needed, anchor a length of metal rebar to a stable pivot point for additional stability.

Raffia bundle

This is very good raffia and worked very well when incorporated in some heavy bending on a Maroela tree.
Also, my recent purchase of Akadama and Banzai Blend was well worth the investment and delivery all the way to Johannesburg was super quick.

More uses

Every use on the discription is head on. I also started using rafia If I snap a branch at the base(happens more than I want it to) I tie the rafia around the base to get it close to cambium after I seal it with the sealer. It has the added benefit of not biting into the branch. Always in my tool box

Very useful

The raffia use is very easy and the results will effective. Soak for 30 minutes in water and get elastic strands to wrap on the branches of a dear bonsai tree before applying wire. Bending the branches will be a lot easy and safe, specially if you are working on Juniper or other soft wood trees.
Price wise, it is very well priced. Got two clean ready to use bundles.
Thank you
