What are the exact external dimensions of the pot?

The pot measures 18cm in length, 14cm in width, and 6cm in height, measured from external edge to external edge, including the feet.

Does the pot come with a drainage hole?

Bonsai pots typically feature a drainage hole to ensure proper aeration and prevent waterlogging. It is recommended to use a mesh screen over the hole.

Is this pot suitable for outdoor bonsai year-round?

While durable, it's advisable to protect the pot and its contents from severe frost and extreme weather conditions when kept outdoors, especially if the soil is saturated.

How do I clean the glazed surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse and drying.

What type of bonsai is best suited for this pot?

This pot is ideal for smaller to medium-sized bonsai, particularly those with shallow root systems like Ficus, Junipers, or young deciduous trees.

Can I use this pot for seedlings?

Yes, this pot can be used for growing bonsai seedlings, providing adequate space for initial root establishment before repotting into a larger container.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface

Check that the drainage hole is not blocked. Use a coarser, well-draining bonsai soil mix.

Glaze appears dull or dirty

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and dry.

Bonsai shows signs of stress (yellowing leaves)

Ensure the pot is suitable for the species. Check watering frequency and soil moisture. Verify drainage is adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
