Bonsai Outlet Training Pots with Humidity Trays - Built in Mesh, Brown 8-Inch Large Planters + Made from Durable Shatter Proof Poly-Resin, Set of 3 Pot Set

Great training pots. Got these for my first bonsai trees. Nice you don't have to get mesh and wire it in. Has plenty of tie down holes. Nice tray as well. They are plastic but still good quality and don't look cheap.

The media could not be loaded. These bonsai pots are awesome. Small and portable with good drainage system

The price for these pots and their accompanying trays cannot be beat. Furthermore, each pot comes with a built-in mesh drainage system and several small holes for looping wire through the pot and around the root ball of your bonsai tree, keeping it in place in case of accidental dropping or wind-toppling.That being said, the only two things I have to say as cons are:1) While not unattractive, the plastic these pots are made of can't quite rival the beauty of traditional stoneware bonsai pots.2) The plastic is very light...unlike stoneware pots, it's easier for the wind to whip through your tree's branches and carry it off--pot and all. This has happened to me once lately when wind gusts got up to 35 mph.These pots would be exceptional for indoor bonsai trees such as Ficus or Fukien Tea. Outdoor display is okay so long as you keep them low to the ground on windy days.

Strong construction,good color (brown),seems to be of good quality.Delivered on time.

If you're an aspiring bonsai artist or an experienced grower looking to expand your collection, you might be considering the Bonsai Outlet Training Pots with Humidity Trays. Here's a detailed review based on my experience:Sturdy and Well-MadeFirst off, these pots are made with quality in mind. The built-in mesh is a fantastic feature, providing excellent drainage and ensuring that your bonsai roots stay healthy and well-ventilated. The material feels durable and looks like it will stand up to the elements if you plan to keep your bonsai outdoors.Handy Humidity TraysThe inclusion of humidity trays is a thoughtful touch. They help maintain the right moisture levels, which is crucial for bonsai trees. The trays are well-designed and fit snugly with the pots, preventing any water spillage and keeping your growing area clean and tidy.Size MattersHowever, the size of these pots was a bit of a letdown. Despite being labeled as "six-inch large planters," they were smaller than I anticipated. This might not be an issue if you're working with very young or small bonsai trees, but for larger specimens, these pots might feel a bit cramped. Be sure to double-check the dimensions and consider the size of your plants before purchasing.Aesthetic AppealAesthetically, these pots are quite pleasing. They have a simple, classic look that complements the beauty of the bonsai without drawing attention away from the tree itself. They also stack nicely, which is great for storage when not in use.Final VerdictWhile these Bonsai Outlet Training Pots with Humidity Trays have many positive attributes, the smaller-than-expected size might be a deal-breaker for some. They are sturdy, well-made, and come with useful features like built-in mesh and humidity trays, but make sure they're the right size for your needs before committing.If you're starting with smaller bonsai or looking for training pots for young trees, these might work well for you. For larger or more mature bonsai, you might need to look for something a bit more spacious.

This is a great set of bonsai pots and humidity trays for the price. I bought this because I had a plan to turn a misshapen pine tree I have in a big planter into a bonsai. I chickened out but have found many uses for these pots. They are great for holding smaller pots of rooted succulent cuttings while they establish new roots. The drainage holes in the bonsai pot allows extra runoff to quickly drain away so the pots don't sit in the excess water allowing root rot to form. I used one of the larger pots for rooting cuttings from a bonsai portulacria plant that was already in a bonsai pot and needed trimming. I can't say I'm a good bonsai trimmer but I got lots of healthy cuttings and they are doing well in the bonsai planter. I also have a couple of store bought bonsai trees and one did not come with its own humidity tray so I used a tray from this set. The pots in this set fit perfectly in the trays and the trays have a raised ridge to hold the pot in just the right place.

These are a terrific dish for training trees and starting off in before putting anything into expensive pottery. They seem nearly unbreakable so can probably take repeated uses, which would be great should someone want to use them in a nursery setting. They are also a wonderful dish for the student as they don’t require the use of a screen; a grid is cut into the base where the traditional two holes would be for anchoring.The color and texture look enough like some sort of dark terra-cotta or other natural material to not appear intrusive so trees can remain in these dishes as long as wished. In fact, should someone wish, these could be used in lieu of the true Bonsai dish (by the way, Bonsai translates to “plant in pot”).They are easily washed between uses, stackable with the drip trays fitting well underneath, and because they are of a plastic, retain moisture much longer than most Bonsai dishes so don’t need the constant checking usually needed of newly planted trees, another good thing for your students as they tend to lose their trees at this stage. All in all this is a very good basic dish for everything small to be started in and I give it high marks.

Perfect size for bonsai, and love that they also have the tray to catch water!
