Want to buy a bonsai pot or bowl?

Why a good bonsai pot is essential

A bonsai tree in a pot needs specific care. The right pot supports the growth, health and general well-being of your bonsai. It is not only a matter of the appearance of your pot or bowl, but a good bonsai bowl also offers the right amount of space, drainage and air circulation.

At Bonsaiwonder we have pots for both beginners and experienced bonsai enthusiasts. When choosing the right pot or bowl, there are several factors that are important, including the size and depth of a pot.

Bonsai pot size and depth

The size of the pot should be adapted to the size of your bonsai tree. A pot that is too big can retain excess water, while a pot that is too small can damage the roots. At Bonsaiwonder you will therefore find bonsai pots in different sizes to meet the needs of your tree. It is important to choose a pot that offers enough space for the roots to grow, without the tree being in a pot that is too large or too small. This will keep your bonsai healthy and sturdy.

Looking for the perfect bonsai pot

As you can see above, our collection consists of different styles, sizes and colours. Whether you are looking for a classic bonsai pot or a modern bowl, you will always find something that suits your taste and style. As a true bonsai lover, you cannot do without a beautiful pot or bowl when you decide to make abonsai for sale. We have both Chinese or handmade pots as well as unique bowls and there is also a difference in whether the pots are glazed or unglazed. We will explain this further below.

Differences between glazed and unglazed bonsai pots

The difference between a glazed bonsai pot and an unglazed bonsai pot has to do with both the appearance and the functionality of the pot. Below we describe the most important differences, so that you can make a good choice for a beautiful pot or bowl.

Glazed bonsai pot

A glazed bonsai pot has a smooth and colorful finish, which makes for a beautiful and eye-catching look. These pots do not absorb water, which keeps the soil moist. They are also sturdier and more resistant to cold and wear. Glazed pots are especially good for bonsai with flowers or colorful leaves, as the pot complements the colors of the tree.

Unglazed bonsai pot

An unglazed bonsai pot has a natural, rough finish with earthy colors, giving it a simple and natural look. These pots absorb a little water, which helps to aerate the roots. They can crack more easily in cold weather, because the water in the pot can freeze. Unglazed pots are ideal for conifers and trees that have a calm and natural look.

What is a suitable bonsai pot or bowl for me?

In short, the choice between a glazed and unglazed bonsai pot depends on the type of tree you have and the desired aesthetic. Glazed pots offer a decorative look and better moisture retention, while unglazed pots provide a natural look and better airflow.

Our advice is to choose a glazed pot or bowl for an indoor bonsai and for an outdoor bonsai we would advise the unglazed pots and bowls. It is possible to use both for both indoor and outdoor, however this requires a bit more attention.
