Best Bonsai Pot Feet
Updated How we research
Bonsai pots drain from the base, so anything that seals those holes against a flat bench works against you. Water lingers, the lower soil turns sour, and the roots in that zone sulk. Pot feet lift the pot a few millimetres so air moves underneath and water leaves freely. What varies is height, material, grip on a wet surface, and whether the feet are glued on, slipped under, or built into a riser. We weighed stability first, since a tall tree on slippery feet is a broken pot waiting to happen. After that came weather resistance, whether the material stains a bench, and how discreet the feet look under a shallow pot. Rubber bumpers suit indoor benches and finished furniture. Ceramic or stone feet suit display. Simple slatted risers suit outdoor benches where a whole row of pots needs lifting at once.
