HEIHAK 3 Pack 14 Inch Large Bonsai Pots, Rectangular Built in Mesh Plastic Bonsai Training Pots with Trays Review (2026)

Size and what it fits

Each pot in this set measures about 14 inches long, with the full package including pots and trays sized at roughly 14 by 10.3 by 4.1 inches, a footprint built for larger developing stock rather than small shohin or starter trees. That size range suits nursery-grown junipers, field-collected material, or any tree that has outgrown a smaller training pot and needs more root room to thicken its trunk and build a stronger root system before eventual styling. A grower with only small or young trees will find this size excessive, since the pot is meant for the bulkier stage of bonsai development rather than early-stage cuttings or seedlings.

Built-in mesh and drainage

Each pot includes a built-in mesh at the drainage holes, which holds soil in place while still letting excess water drain freely, removing the step of cutting and fitting separate mesh screens that many growers add to plain training pots themselves. The pots include four drain holes with this crisscross mesh material, a standard setup for training pots meant to keep soil from washing out during watering while avoiding waterlogged roots. This built-in feature is a genuine time saver over pots sold without mesh, where a grower has to source screen material and cut it to fit each drainage hole by hand before ever using the pot.

Trays and materials

Each of the three pots comes with a matching humidity tray designed to fit snugly, with a raised ridge that holds the pot in place so it does not slide around during handling or watering, and the trays help retain moisture around the pot longer than a bare dish would. The pots and trays are made from PP plastic, described as thick and sturdy, which keeps the set lighter and less prone to cracking or breaking than an equivalent ceramic training pot would be if dropped or bumped while moving trees around a growing area. Plastic construction also makes the set easier to wash and stack between growing seasons.

Value for a smaller pack size

With only 3 pots included, this set costs more per individual pot than larger bulk packs of smaller training pots, which is worth factoring in for a grower planning to repot many trees at once rather than just a few larger specimens. The trade-off makes more sense when the trees involved are genuinely large enough to need 14 inch pots, since buying oversized pots in bulk for trees that do not need that much room wastes both money and growing space. A grower with a handful of larger developing trees gets straightforward value here, while someone repotting many small trees is better served by a bulk pack of smaller pots instead.

Who should buy this set

This fits a grower with nursery stock, field-collected material, or established trees that have outgrown smaller training pots and need the root space a 14 inch rectangular pot provides, especially if avoiding the extra step of cutting mesh screens is a priority. It also suits anyone who wants matching humidity trays included rather than buying dishes separately to catch runoff and retain moisture. Growers working mainly with small or young trees, or those needing many pots for a larger collection, will get better value from a bulk pack of smaller training pots rather than this large-format 3-pack.
