well peeps
here is what i do
firstly make sure that the plant is healthy enuff to take the lst'ing
then take the branches that ya want tying down and bend them as far down as ya can without snapping them, then tye down with some string or whateva ya are gonna use keeping it in that position
if the bent branches that ya have just done arent bent enuff
you can pinch the branch slightly to maximise the bend
by pinching the branch i mean
take the branch in between ya forefinger and thumb and gently roll it like rolling a sausage backward and forwards untill the branch weakens and becomes more bendy
bare in mind this could take a week to properly heal in the new position
and the pinched bend once healed will look like a bubble but this is totally fine
hope this helps and happy lst'ing
cheers all
