How many drainage holes does it have?

What is the purpose of the wiring holes?

Is the dark green glaze a matte or glossy finish?

What type of soil should I use?
Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix appropriate for your specific tree species. A common mix includes akadama, pumice, and lava rock.
Troubleshooting
Water not draining adequately
Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Check that the mesh screen is not obstructing flow.
Glaze appears dull or scratched
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials. Minor scratches may be unavoidable with use.
Bonsai feels unstable in the pot
Re-secure the tree using bonsai wire through the wiring holes. Ensure the wire is taut around the root ball.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before planting, ensure the pot is clean. Place a mesh screen over the drainage holes to prevent soil loss. Use bonsai soil appropriate for your tree species. Secure the tree using bonsai wire passed through the wiring holes and around the root ball.
Compatibility: This pot is suitable for a wide variety of bonsai species, including deciduous trees like maples and elms, and conifers such as pines and junipers. Its size is best suited for medium-sized trees.
Care: Clean the pot with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glaze. If algae or mineral deposits form on the exterior, gently scrub with a soft brush and water. Store in a dry place when not in use.
