FAQs
What are the exact internal dimensions for pot feet?
The internal dimensions where the feet of the pot sit are 14cm x 10cm.
Can I use this tray with any type of pot?
This tray is best suited for bonsai pots with a base or feet that measure approximately 14cm x 10cm. Very small or very large pots may not fit correctly.
How do I clean the drip tray?
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. Empty and rinse regularly.
Does this tray have drainage holes?
No, this drip tray is designed to collect water and does not have drainage holes.
What material is the tray made from?
The tray is made of ceramic with a glazed finish.
Can this tray be used outdoors?
While durable, the glazed finish is best maintained when protected from harsh weather. It is primarily designed for indoor use to protect surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Tray appears to be unstable
Ensure the surface the tray is placed on is completely flat and level. Verify that the bonsai pot's base fits within the internal dimensions and is centered.
Water is overflowing the tray
This suggests the pot is holding more water than the tray can contain, or the pot's drainage is excessive. Consider watering the bonsai more conservatively or using a larger drip tray if available and suitable.
Tray has developed stains or discoloration
Gently scrub with a paste of baking soda and water. For stubborn stains, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner might be used cautiously, followed by a thorough rinse.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively protects furniture from water damage and soil spills.
- The glazed finish is easy to wipe clean.
- Durable construction ensures long-term use.
- The blue color is visually appealing and can enhance display.
- Provides a stable platform for the bonsai pot.
Cons
- Internal dimensions are specific, limiting pot compatibility to those with a 14cm x 10cm foot placement.
- May be too small for very large bonsai pots.
- Does not include drainage holes, intended solely for collection.
- Fragile if dropped due to its ceramic nature.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Simply place the drip tray on a flat, stable surface. Then, place your bonsai pot directly onto the internal base of the tray. Ensure the feet of the pot sit securely within the 14cm x 10cm internal area for maximum stability.
Compatibility:
This tray is designed for bonsai pots whose base or feet measure approximately 14cm x 10cm. It is not suitable for pots significantly larger or smaller, or those without a distinct base footprint.
Care:
Clean the tray regularly to prevent mineral buildup or algae growth. Empty any collected water after each watering. Wash with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the glaze. The tray is not dishwasher safe. Allow to air dry completely before placing a pot back on it.
