I live in Trinidad, a country in the West Indies or the islands as they say in the US. We do not have any suppliers of bonsai pots here so that I have to pick them up on my travels.

I am looking for a supplier who will ship small orders to Trinidad upon payment. Can anyone provide the name and address of such a supplier.

With thanks

Victor

Hi, welcome to Bonsai Help.

I'm sure if you asked nicely our shop supplier would ship you pots.
Try WS Bonsai by clicking our shop tab at the top of the page and send an e-mail to Ashley.

Can anyone else think of anyone who could get pots to our new friend at good rates?

Enjoy!

Hello, Victor - Welcome to Bonsai Help. There are often bonsai pots and other type pots on eBay at quite reasonable prices. Don't know how much they'd cost to post, though. Is it expensive to post from US to Trinidad?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies on my Pots question so far.

Does any one know of a good bonsai magazine that I might subscribe to?

Here are four magazines that are all very good.

American Bonsai Society Journal
International Bonsai
Bonsai in Europe
Bonsai Today

If you do a search on each one, you will find out how to subscribe to any and all. You might also see an on-lne version of them.

HI,
I also have trouble finding pots...have to order all of them. I have excellent luck on eBay...sometimes I pay more for the shipping than for the pots, but that's because the pots were VERY well-priced. Before you bid, you can e-mail the seller to see if they can ship to you. Good Luck!

The mica pots are very durable and very inexpensive. They are a composite material that resembles a very hard rubber, but they do not break and they come in standard bonsai shapes. They are really worth looking at.
