I wonder if these pots would be suitable for putting prebonsai in? Would they be ok to start training a juniper bonsai in?

I would think that wouldnt be a problem but a 5 gallon might be on the larger side I am not familiar with the root system for a bonsai tree but would assume a 1-2 gallon would be a better buy just my opinion as these pots are supposed to air trim the roots. Again if I knew about if they produce massive roots or not I could maybe answer this better.

These pots are supposed to be just fine for bonsai. You might try a smaller pot though.

No...not good for Bonsai... unless you are talking a 3 inch pot. Although the shelve is sturdy, any slight wobble and down goes your bonsai. I would use a table or something with a more solid footing.

Yes, I bought these pots and they work perfectly in my induction range. The only comment is that the pan's coating, is fading very fast.

Absolutely! Have been doing so for the last couple of months. Be aware that these pots transfer heat amazingly well. It may take some adjusting to. Where I previously would use a fairly high heat, I've now dialed back and rarely need to go any higher than a medium/medium-high setting on my stove. I've never needed to use high, EVER! Over all I'm very pleased with these pots and pans.

I'm not sure if you can but I put them in potting soil and watered them with unfertalized water and waited until they started visably growing before fertilizing With a liquid fertilizer mixed with water. For me it took about 3 months for them to take root and visably start growing. They are doing great and are about 6 inches tall with 4, 3 inch leaves. I've had them for about 9 months. I'd recommend doing some Internet research and find out what you need to know. I wish you luck.

This is my first year using the pot I'm trying them with vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes), but I certainly think a dwarf fruit tree would do very well in the large pot.

I think they would be good for starting seeds, but not a larger plant. They are very small - only big enough to hold a helping of M&Ms; or thumbtacks.

I don't really see why not except for they are not as heavy gauge metal as oval galvy tubs I have used as planters before. If not filled with dirt to top I would think they would hold up just fine. Would probably make a good cold frame.

These are lightweight pots, but you could put something heavy in the bottom or fill with sand and then put in the tree. Or for a more permanent fix you could put plaster of paris in the pot and then put the tree stake in.

I think so. They are not huge and the quality is pretty good. I've had one sitting outside for some months and it still collects water. And, given that there are ridges, the pots would be less likely to become waterlogged.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

I have best luck with normal top watering until the water runs through and out of the pot. Soaking sometimes makes the dirt run off. Bonsais like lots of water and sun. The small junipers dry out quickly so water very frequently.

Carole,These did not work for us in outdoor pots, and we followed the instructions carefully. For what I read, they appeared to have worked for others. Perhaps it would depend on how much humidity would be in the atmosphere.. Sorry I could not be more help.. Irene

Personally, I've never grown a bonsai. I use Schultz for all indoor plants I used miracle gro for.

These pots are fairly sturdy, I think they would be okay to use for a small tree. But, I would put a layer of rock in the bottom of the pot, before planting.

I would imagine you could, as they are organic. I would just adjust the size of them according to your container. I used them in my container garden last year and they worked well, but I used very large pots. Since they're spikes they can easily be broken in half.

I'd recommend using them in larger pots, as the size of the bottles used may cause smaller pots to tip over (in addition to possibly not leaving enough room for the plant to grow).
