Japanese bonsai pot

About this pot The ceramics produced at the Seizan kiln by Reihou are classic. The shapes and proportions are very functional for most any tree, so not only can they be appreciated for the works of art that they are, but your favourite tree will be that much impressive potted in one of these containers. The glaze colours which are used are subdued and once again very complimentary to all species of bonsai trees. This particular rounded rectangular bonsai pot in kin (pale blue) glaze with bamboo relief right round, is a used pot with no damage in the form of cracks or chips. A nice patina has already begun to develop on this container which will enhance the age of any maturing bonsai tree.  Origin Japan Artist Reihou, Mr. Katsushi Kataoka (Master potter) Dimensions 35 x 25 x 8.5cm Finish Glazed

This oval shape and cream colour makes it ideal for deciduous trees or even figs, to display them either in leaf or in the winter image. Root over rock styles will also really look great in this shallow container. It is a brand new container and there is no damage of any kind visible on it.

Features Particle size = 1 ~ 3mm Growing medium of Japanese bonsai masters High quality Ibaraki brand akadama Hard type (retains shape longest) Exclusively imported from Japan by Bonsai Tree. Available in 2L bag, 5L bag and 14L bags. Description Akadama is a granular volcanic clay-like (although it is not clay) mineral which occurs naturally in Japan. It has been extensively used by Japanese gardeners and bonsai artists for many centuries as a growing medium for bonsai trees and other container-grown plants. It is mined from the surface of the ground, after which it is graded and packaged. Unlike LECA it is not fired at high temperatures however when it is mined from greater depths it tends to be harder or it might be slightly baked. It has many unique qualities, one of which is that when it is wet it has a darker colour so indicates when watering is needed. Akadama is unique as a growing medium and is sought after due to its ability for water retention and nutrients due to its high CEC value. However at the same time it provides porosity and free drainage. Uses This fine (1~3mm) particle size akadama is suited to shohin and general bonsai growing mixes as a top dressing to encourage fine surface rooting. Akadama can be combined with other elements such as crushed stone, composted bark, peat, or for best effect use pumice. Here are a few recipes from leading international bonsai practitioners: Boon Manakitivipart 1 part pumice, 1 part lava, 1 part akadama, 1 handful decomposed granite and 1 handful horticultural charcoal. Bjorn Bjorholm Akadama, lava rock, and pumice. Use a 1:1:1 ratio respectively for conifers and a 2:1:1 ratio respectively for deciduous and broadleaf evergreen species. Peter Tea 2 parts akadama, 1 part hyuga (Japanese pumice) and 1 part coarse river sand. Sizes Available. See other sizes of akadama available from us
