Bonsai Shoes Japanese Tokoname Style Training Grow Plastic Pot

The Bonsai Shoes Japanese Tokoname Style growing pot is modeled after Japanese Tokoname grow pots. They are not clay, but they are a fraction of the price.

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).

Printed to order just for you. Production time depends on current demand and printer availability — if timing matters, contact us for a current estimate before ordering.

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.
