Two bonsai techniques those have largely evolved out of time are cutting and layering. In cutting, a small part of a growing plant is cut off and carefully placed in growing medium to develop roots. One can chose a thick woody part of a plant, which would render the bonsai an aged look as it grows.
Alternatively, a slender stem can be cut off and cultivated further which has a greater tendency to spawn and grow roots. Cutting is usually preferred when the bonsai has to meet certain specific aspects as desired. It allows us to grow the source specimen for some time and later prune it according to your needs when we deem fit.
