Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the exact internal dimensions of the pot?

The product description states external measurements (12cm x 10cm x 4cm). Internal dimensions will be slightly smaller due to the thickness of the pot walls. Precise internal measurements are not provided.

Does the pot come with a humidity tray?

No, this product listing is for the pot only. A separate humidity tray is not included.

Can this pot be used for succulents?

While the drainage is good, the pot's depth and size might be better suited for traditional bonsai. For succulents that require very fast draining soil and minimal moisture retention, a shallower, unglazed pot might be preferable.

How should I prepare the pot for a new tree?

Rinse the pot to remove any dust. Place mesh over the drainage holes to prevent soil escape, then add your bonsai soil mix and position your tree.

What is the material of the pot?

The pot is made from glazed ceramic.

Is the green glaze color consistent?

Due to the nature of ceramic glazing, slight variations in color intensity and pattern may occur, adding to the unique character of each pot.

Troubleshooting

Drainage holes are too small

Carefully enlarge the drainage holes using a specialized ceramic drill bit or a Dremel tool. Exercise caution to avoid cracking the pot.

Algae growth on the exterior

Wipe the pot with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent algae, a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.

Pot appears to be leaking

Inspect the pot for any visible cracks. Minor surface crazing in the glaze is normal and does not typically cause leaks. If a significant crack is present, the pot may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the drainage holes are not obstructed before adding soil and your bonsai. You may wish to place mesh over the holes to prevent soil loss.

Compatibility: This pot is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor bonsai species, particularly those that prefer consistently moist but well-drained soil. It is ideal for starter trees or smaller specimens.

Care: Clean the pot with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glaze. For stubborn soil or algae, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and water is recommended.
