Bonsai mesh

  Bonsai pots tend to have large holes for drainage hence the need for mesh to keep the growing medium in place. The small holes in the mesh allow water to drain naturally holding the soil in place for good tree health.  The mesh is sold in 3 sizes: Large - 24cm x 24cm (Enough mesh for up to 8 pots) Medium - 24cm x 12cm  (Enough mesh for up to 4 pots) Small - 12cm x 12cm  (Enough mesh for up to 2 pots) Please note that the mesh is handcut and accordingly there can be small variances in the size by 1cm.   Please familiarise yourself with the shipping info below Shipping Rates are as listed below Approximate processing and transit times are listed below PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA  

Description All bonsai pots have at least one drainage hole in the bottom to allow for water to escape from the pot and help prevent root rot. However leaving these holes uncovered will result in your bonsai tree soil escaping and creating a void under the tree. This needs to be prevented. This plastic drainage mesh is specifically for this purpose Features This drainage mesh has a specific aperture (gap between the plastic strands) to allow for finer particulates and water to drain freely but retains the bonsai soil you require for healthy growth of your tree. The aperture is also not so fine as to clog quickly, preventing drainage and very likely leading to the downfall of your tree. Furthermore the mesh has a rigidity which maintains the shape, it does not sag like other mesh which is sometimes used.

What is it? By winding suitable wire around branches or even the trunk of the tree, it is possible for the bonsai artist to create bends which are pleasing to the form of the tree. When the wire is removed some weeks or even months later, the shaped area will remain in that form. The best time to wire deciduous is in late spring through autumn. Evergreens such as pines and junipers are best wired in winter. Annealed copper wire is best for evergreens due to its superior holding power. However the material of choice for deciduous is anodized aluminium wire. Other uses Guy wiring - Wire is anchored at two points, one on the branch and the other at some other strategic point. The wire is tightened and tightened until the desired curve is achieved. Fix drainage mesh - ensures it does not move when the tree and growing medium is placed into it. Securing a tree - freshly repotted trees need to be secured into the pot.
