Why do cascading bonsai need taller pots?

Cascading bonsai need tall pots for stability, as their downward growth shifts weight and can cause tipping. Taller pots support deep root growth and maintain the visual balance of cascading styles. They also ensure proper moisture retention and drainage for healthy bonsai.

What tree species pair well with cascade bonsai pots?

Junipers (Shimpaku, Procumbens) – Ideal for dramatic cascading shapes. Pines (Japanese Black Pine, White Pine) – Strong, elegant downward growth. Wisterias & Azaleas – Beautiful flowering cascades with colorful blooms. Maples – Create flowing, artistic branches with vibrant seasonal colors.

How do I choose the right size cascade bonsai pot?

The pot should provide enough depth to support downward growth and be two-thirds the height of your tree.
