Japanese putty is applied to the cut wounds on a bonsai and should slightly cover the edges of the injury. Healing then subsequently takes place under the sealant. On the other hand, with the other pastes, the new bark grows over the sealant. Due to its reddish-brown color, the plasticine is mainly used for conifers or azaleas. The plasticine contains additives that accelerate the healing of wounds.
