Buying bonsai pots

Hi there,

Welcome back to the bonsai hub blog.
Today we will discuss about few of the guidelines to be followed while buying pots for your bonsai tree.

The length of the pot you buy should be decided based on the height of the tree you plant in the pot. It is always advisable to go for a pot which is around 70 Percent the height of your tree. This will give ample space for the tree to grow.

The depth of the pot should also be decided based on the width of the trunk. The trunk of the tree is generally widest just above the soil, so this would be a good place to take measurement to decide the width of you bonsai pot.

It it always a good idea to take your tree along with you while shopping for a pot this would help you in deciding for the right kind of pot for your bonsai tree.
