Bonsai Shoes Fancy Semi-Cascade Plastic Training Pot

The Fancy Semi-Cascade is a traditional style with fancy features. The Fancy series adds extra details and individual feet, modeled after common shapes used for centuries.

Air-pruning mesh bottom. The raised mesh bottom maximizes drainage and root growth: water and oxygen flow freely while the walls help keep the soil from drying too fast, and roots air-prune into a finer root system.

• Premium PETG — strong, with excellent water, chemical and UV resistance, and it insulates roots from heat and cold (only about 10–15% more brittle in freezing weather)
• Designed and 3D printed in the USA by Bonsai Shoes — 3D printing needs no molds, so we can offer sizes and shapes traditional manufacturing can't
• Sizes: the size number is the pot's largest outside dimension in inches (a Size 8 is 8″ wide)

Three ways to use it: on a solid surface (roots grow through the mesh for extra vigor — trim them at least once a year so they don't clog the mesh); on a mesh or grated surface (full air pruning — the ideal fine root system); or on soil or substrate (maximum growth while keeping a root ball in a small pot).

Which tray fits this pot?

Measured from the production files: pot feet must sit on the tray's flat inside floor with room to spare. Shallow and Deep trays have the same inside floor size; Deep holds more water. Pots over 7" → Deep recommended.

Spare = tray inside floor minus foot size, on the tighter (short) side. "Fits with spare" standard is ~20 mm or more.
