Bonsai pots can be a tricky thing to find. It’s important to know what you’re looking for, because the correct pot can make or break your tree’s success. The right bonsai pot will show symmetry, balance, and proportion. It should also be well-constructed, and have a good drainage system. The best bonsai pots are made from clay, and are glazed with a color that complements the tree.
The development of Chinese containers played a critical role in the art of bonsai, which is based on the concept that the tree and container must form a single entity. The finest Japanese bonsai are often housed in antique Chinese containers.
When choosing a bonsai pot, you should consider the gender of the tree and the personality of the owner. A tree with grace, smooth bark, and sparse branches is generally considered feminine. The masculine traits of the tree include strength, old bark, and a thick trunk.
Lastly, you should select a pot that matches the size of the tree. For example, a small pot is perfect for an old ficus with a wide trunk, while a large pot is ideal for a coniferous or deciduous tree with a narrow trunk. In addition, it is recommended that you avoid metal pots, as they release toxins and chemicals, which can harm the tree’s health.
