I have wired some branches on my Buddhist pine and i was just wondering how long i should leave them wired for.
It has been about 2 weeks.

Love and light

Leave it until the branches become set in your chosen position or until the wire starts to bite in, whichever is the sooner.
If wire bites before the branches are set, take it off and re-wind in the opposite direction so that the wire doesn't fall into any grooves.

2 weeks is nothing. The branches have to grow a bit for the new position to set.
