Books & Guides

Reference books for going deeper than our own care guide covers.

Bonsai pots are deliberately shallow — restricted root space is part of what keeps a tree miniature — and sizing one wrong is a common beginner mistake in either direction: too large and a young tree won't develop properly, too small and an established tree will dry out too fast. See our pot sizing guide for which of our three sizes suits which stage of a tree's development.
