pot

Hi! How do you build up your pots collection? Is getting job lots on Facebook marketplace/ eBay a good way to start? It seems they sell 100 ceramic pots for 300-500 pounds on FB. Or do you buy pots for around 20 pounds each over time to build it up? What sort of price is good for an ok...

I am wondering if Junipers care terribly about the material of the pot they're placed in. Even if it's not an extreme preference to one type, is there a material generally preferred?

Hi all, Thought I'd share my first attempt at a bespoke container for one of my trees this coming spring. A little winter project in preparation. Any criticism or advice would be appreciated.

I made this pot thinking a small forest or clump would look good in it. And when looking into the shape found out it was actually a real oval. 🧐

I have a 10 month old ficus benghalensis as well as a 10 month old ficus religiosa. I'm trying to work on developing their radial roots and wanted to know if the shape of the pot matters (round vs rectangular vs square)? I'm assuming round is best for developing even radial roots?

Ryan Neil says that on round pots the apex of the tree must always break lateral boundary of the pot, do you guys agree?? i see lots of round pots with centered trees on them... with their apexes also centered. If one goes with an harmonic design, shouldn't the pot also be symetrical with the...

Hello everyone, I'm very new to bonsai and I am growing 2 ficus benghalensis and 1 ficus religiosa trees from seed that I would like to eventually bonsai. I have been trying my best to read articles and watch videos on this, but still confused about pot sizes. I planted these on Nov 10, 2022...

Here’s a Vietnamese style pot I painted to look old and weathered with dwarf jade And a square Chinese style pot I painted earth tones with my Brazilian rain tree both from seeds And then 2 other ceramics I found at a thrift store that I made into pots one with my serissa air layer I just did...

Well, I have fallen for the siren's chant and purchased 2 air prune pots, one XXL and one XL, from AliXPress. During the winter of 2021, one and a half years ago, I've reppoted a big Malus and a fairly big Dawn Redwood into the pots, to get more fine roots closer to the trunk. It worked pretty...

Merriam Webster defines a plant being root bound as "A tangled mess with little to no room for new growth". I agree with this definition. Because being root bound is a problem for plants, and there are signs like yellowing foliage, wilting, growth retardation, pushing the rootmass above the pot...

Hello all, someone might recognize me about a year ago I bought my friend a Chinese elm bonsai and I posted a thread on this website about if everything looked ok because the trunk had a odd bend to it (advertised as broom style) and the soil looked dislodged. I got some good feedback on here...

Hi all, I just acquired a small set of 6 micro bonsai pots and was hoping someone on here had some more information than what the seller and I were able to piece together. According to the seller these pots are from Seto Tokoname and the person they had gotten them from had them for over 15...

Found this pretty pot but I have 0 clue what this pot is. Anyone recognize it?

My wife recently purchased me a new pot as a gift, however it is a pot I would consider an unusual shape. What kind of style of tree would you put in a fan shaped pot (arched pot)? Does anyone have any examples of trees in a fan shaped pot? Wakazura bonsai is the name of the company I got...

Hello, I have an azalea stump that I’m going to be transforming into bonsai. Pictured below is my desired front: Given that this is the front of the future bonsai, what styles would you guys recommend for me? I am not creative at all and I will not be able to create a beautiful tree...

I’m looking to repot this tree here soon. Any opinions on what shape pot to go with? Should I stick to round, or go with something else?

All right this is a test pot as with any custom pot it’s not perfect. What I’m gonna do is fire it and then whoever wants to be the high bidder will choose the glaze. With that caveat it may not be perfect but I’ll work with that person. Ask questions if needed. I will donate a percentage into...

Hi everyone, This is my first post and my first experience with bonsai. I recently bought a Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii) and would like to style this to make a bonsai tree. I live in Stockholm, Sweden and came to the conclusion I am in "hardiness" zone 7 according to...

Trying to find a decent online store that sells bonsai pots, preferably ones that are frost proof. I'm looking to repot some junipers and can't seem to find a decent online bonsai pot store. Any recommendations?

All im looking to repot my podocarpus. The tree is about 20”+ tall and is currently sitting in a 11” by 8” pot. What’s the right size pot for this size Bonsai? Should I size up to 12”-13” or wider? I prefer rectangular pots.

I just acquired a pot by Roy Minarai that I think, for me, is the finest bonsai pot I’ve ever seen. It’s a mokko shape, 11.5 inches long. The layered glazes are stunning. Roy just keeps getting better...he told me he made this piece earlier this year. It’s in transit now, and I’m excited as hell...

Howdy, I'm happy to share this pot I pulled out of the kiln yesterday. The red color comes from copper being reduced by the kiln flame. After playing with this glaze for the last year I dialed in where to place pots to get the desired reduction. I think it would work great for a Japanese...

One of my other hobbies (very new to bonsai) is wood turning. A few years ago I rough turned this bowl out of a box older that fell in the back yard. I liked it so I sealed it and never finish turned it. Sometimes it's a huge coaster for my desk, sometimes its catching cashew shells. I included...
