If the bonsai pot is too large, our bonsai tree will look small and insignificant.<\/p>\n<h3>Bonsai Pot Shape<\/h3>\n<p>There are bonsai pots of many shapes: square, rectangle, round, oval, long oval, octagonal, hexagonal,  freehand shapes, shallow trays for forest bonsai, and tall pots for cascade style bonsai trees.<\/p>\n<p>When we choose a bonsai pot for our bonsai tree, we should already have a good idea of the style of our bonsai tree.   Is the bonsai tree gentle and flowing?  Or is the bonsai tree thick and heavy?  A black pine with a thick, strong trunk in the formal upright style would be best suited to a strong angular bonsai pot, such as a square or rectangle bonsai pot with the absolute minimum of decorations or fancy feet.  Yet, on the other hand, a soft bonsai tree such as an azalea, would look best in a gentle curvy, glazed bonsai pot, with some fine engravings.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Bonsai Clay Pot\" href=\"https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-615\" title=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay-01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-01-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay\" width=\"120\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-638\" title=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay\" width=\"194\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-04.jpg 998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Bonsai Clay Pot\" href=\"https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-625\" title=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Bonsai-Pot-Clay\" width=\"182\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/happybonsai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Bonsai-Pot-Clay-03.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few more articles on how to choose bonsai pots for our bonsai trees.<br \/>\n<a title=\" What Bonsai Pots for What Bonsai Trees? \" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/what-bonsai-pots-for-what-bonsai-trees\/\">What Bonsai Pots for What Bonsai Trees? <\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Bonsai Pot \u2013 Get the Right Size for Our Tree \" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/bonsai-pot-right-size-bonsai-tree\/\">Bonsai Pot \u2013 Get the Right Size for Our Tree <\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Bonsai Pots for Different Bonsai Styles \" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/bonsai-pots-different-bonsai-styles\/\">Bonsai Pots for Different Bonsai Styles <\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Bonsai Pots of Different Materials\" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/bonsai-pots-of-different-materials\/\">Bonsai Pots of Different Materials<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\" Is Your Bonsai Tree Ready for a Bonsai Pot? \" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/is-your-bonsai-tree-ready-for-a-bonsai-pot\/\">Is Your Bonsai Tree Ready for a Bonsai Pot?<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Choosing Your Bonsai Pots\" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/choosing-your-bonsai-pots\/\">Choosing Your Bonsai Pots<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bonsai pots are available in many different shapes, sizes and colors to suit all styles and species of bonsai trees.
