Tokoname Grow Pots Imported from Japan
These low clay pots are specially made to encourage a spreading root structure. For many reasons, they are particularly suited for pre-bonsai. Round pots are better for developing an even root structure.
Plastic pots are not as stable as clay, so every time you move a plastic pot the roots can be disturbed. (BTW – WE SELL A TON OF PLASTIC POTS)
The slant sides, shallow depth, and good size holes promote excellent drainage.
Because they are ceramic, they hold heat which of course helps keep the roots warm. They are measured across the top and by depth.
