Getting the pot ready

Lay the drainage mesh over the holes in the base - trim it with scissors - and spread a thin layer of clay granules on top. Then fill up with bonsai soil. Tie the tree in with wire through the extra holes in the base, so it stays still while new roots grow.

Good to know

  • Unglazed clay breathes: some water evaporates through the wall, the roots get air, and the soil dries a little faster than in a glazed pot.
  • The clover-leaf shape is soft and lively and suits flowering trees and trees with a twisting trunk.
  • Rule of thumb: the pot should be about 2/3 as long as the tree is tall, and about as deep as the trunk is thick at the base.
  • Keep the pot frost-free in winter. Frost can damage both the pot and the roots - and that is worst on an old tree.
  • The pot is handmade, so dimensions may vary by approx. ±0.5 cm.
  • Picture 2 shows the drainage mesh and clay granules that come with the pot. The round clay bowl in the picture is not included.
