Article- Paul E. Smith on Bonsai Trays, Part 2

You notice, therefore that bonsai trays are a necessary addition when making a beautiful bonsai presentation, due to the following reasons:

1. A receptacle to hold the excess water that drains out of the bonsai pot is essential to prevent the soil from getting waterlogged. The bonsai trays keep the pots from getting saturated with water and also give it a neat appearance.

2. As the water in the tray begins to evaporate, due to the temperature in the room, the right amount of humidity is reached, for the plant to grow in a healthy environment.

3. You can water the plants wherever they are placed and do not have to carry each one to the sink to water them. You can water the plants, where they are positioned with a watering can, to dampen the soil. The excess water that drains out through the holes provided at the base of the pot is collected in the bonsai tray.

(continued from previous post)

You can buy Bonsai trays as single pieces or in packs of threes. It is possible to get them free from vendors when you buy bonsai pots. The ones that are sold in packs of three generally range anywhere between 3 to around 15 dollars depending on the size and shape of the tray. The best bonsai trays usually have little studs or legs to keep it off the ground, though some are sold, which are totally flat on the ground.
