I just bought my first ever bonsai pot.

I cannot wait for it to get here.

Looks cool
Are you going to use it as a pot holder?
Root growth under the lip might hinder tree removal for maintenance.

Huh. That's actually a good point. Hmmm. I might do that. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I'm a bit obtuse at times.

Just wait… the best is just to come!

Most folks on this site have more pots then underwear!

Um. That pot looks like it’s a death trap for a tree. The lip id as said too pronounced and will get in the way. Repotting what ever goes in there will be quite a challenge if the roots mass grows under the lip (which it will)

Also the walls is the pot look pretty thin which means it could be easily breakable particularly when repotting

Can’t see if there are drainage holes but if there aren’t your tree will die. You will also ah e to have wiring holes in the bottom as well that you can pass anchor wire through to hold the tree in place .

FWIW Sticking with traditional pots at first can be more effective with the tasks of bonsai work. Unconventional pots are fine but present unique problems and can end up being a pain in the butt

Why would this be a bonsai pot?

Either you guys have a lot of underwear, or this is an understatement. For some of you, each of your trees has more potential pots lying around than I have underwear.

It would still be a good pot for kusamono or something.

Thread 'The traditional bonsai according to Mr. Andô'

Nov 22, 2021

Hello to all of you,

I open a post to share with you what I learned.
It is the traditional bonsai as it was done in the past that Mr. Andô taught me.
Don't get me wrong, I am not going to tell you that this is the way you should do it.
It is certainly not the only way to see things, it is just what I have learned, you take, it is very good, you do not take and it is very good too. So I have nothing to defend,

I'll start by telling you about the Shin Gyo, So.
This subject may not teach you much if you have been practicing bonsai for a long time.

The Shin, Gyo, So, comes from writing
It...

I only really have 2 cheap Chinese pots. One came with my BC I got from California Bonsai Studio, and one that came with my Pomegranate.

Luckily for me, I have more than 2 pairs of skivvies!

Once my trees start getting ready for bonsai pots, I'll be looking for some cool ones.

I just counted. You are correct...it's not even close.

 

[Desert O'Piñon]

I have many, many pots, but only 6 bonsai pots, and they are some sort of plastic-esque material for training. Nothing against any of you, but whether I have more or less than 6 undies is between me and my jeans.

Fwiw, I like the pot, but I definitely agree that it would almost be a single-use vessel. Between the thin walls and the deep lip, getting the roots out without breaking the pot or damaging the roots seems unlikely.

 

[Oddly_Aude]

I didn't realize the problems with the pot until posting here. I messaged the seller and asked him the hole's measurements and explained that I was going to slip a pot in and he actually offered to widen the hole.

Will it improve it? Dunno. But I still love the pot. And I think I can make it work, albeit with some jerry-rigging.
