FAQs
What are the internal dimensions of the pot?
The product information provides external dimensions (26cm x 20cm x 6cm). Internal dimensions will be slightly smaller due to the thickness of the ceramic walls.
Can this pot be used outdoors year-round?
While durable, ceramic pots can be susceptible to frost damage in freezing temperatures. It is recommended to bring the pot indoors or provide protection during harsh winter months.
Does the pot come with a tray?
This product listing is for the bonsai pot only. A separate humidity tray, if desired, would need to be purchased.
How should I clean the pot if it gets dirty?
Wipe the pot with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
What is the best type of soil for this pot?
A well-draining bonsai soil mix is recommended, typically composed of akadama, pumice, and lava rock, tailored to the specific needs of your bonsai species.
Are the feet removable?
The feet are integrated into the design of the pot and are not removable.
Troubleshooting
Pot appears to be leaking.
Ensure all drainage holes are clear and that the pot is not cracked. If a crack is present, the pot may need to be replaced.
Soil appears to be drying out too quickly.
Consider adding a layer of mulch or increasing watering frequency slightly, depending on the plant's needs and environmental conditions. Ensure the drainage holes are not excessively large, allowing too much moisture to escape.
Glazed surface has minor scuffs.
Try gently buffing with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a very mild, non-abrasive cleaner might be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure the pot is clean before use. Add a layer of drainage material (like gravel or lava rock) to the bottom, followed by your bonsai soil mix. Position your bonsai tree, filling in with soil around the root ball, ensuring no air pockets.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of bonsai species, including deciduous trees like Japanese Maples and Elms, and evergreens like Pines and Junipers. Also appropriate for succulents and other small plants.
Care: To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the glaze. Ensure proper watering practices for your specific bonsai species to prevent over or under-watering, as the ceramic can retain moisture.
