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.

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.
  • A rectangular pot gives a stable, masculine look and suits upright trees with a strong 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.
