Bonsai Drip Trays and Humidity Trays
Complete your display with a bonsai drip tray to catch water draining from your pot. Browse different shapes and sizes to suit your bonsai pot. For the best fit, compare the tray's usable inner space with the pot's base and feet, rather than relying on matching size labels.
How to choose a drip tray
Check the base, feet and inner tray space
Many bonsai pots taper towards the bottom, so a pot's top measurement can be larger than its footprint. Choose a tray with enough flat inner space to accommodate the base and all the feet comfortably. A larger tray is fine if the pot sits securely within it.
Our pot dimensions are generally external unless otherwise stated. Ceramic pot walls are usually around 1cm thick, but this is not a reliable way to calculate the usable area of a tray: its rim and shape also matter. Use any specified internal dimensions, or ask us to check the fit.
Using your tray
Empty excess water after watering so the pot does not stand in it. Check product descriptions to see whether a tray is included with a pot or needs to be ordered separately.
