Description:

Designed with a low, balanced silhouette and a subtle Stillwater ripple texture, this planter has a soft ceramic-like presence while remaining lightweight, durable, and precisely 3D printed. The shape is quiet and minimal from above, while the textured exterior adds depth and character in changing light.

This is a 2-part planter system made for indoor bonsai setups:
• the outer pot holds a small water reservoir
• the inner insert lifts the bonsai medium above the water line
• moisture moves upward through capillary action, helping maintain more stable hydration without leaving roots sitting directly in water

The result is a cleaner, more controlled watering setup that reduces daily checking while preserving the refined look of a traditional bonsai bowl.

Color Options:

We offer a wide range of colors. Due to Etsy platform limitations, not all options appear in the dropdown menu. Please refer to our color swatches. If your desired color isn’t listed, contact us and we will add it so you can select it for your order.

Why it’s special
• Low bonsai bowl form: calm, horizontal silhouette designed to suit bonsai displays beautifully
• Self-watering insert system: supports more even moisture distribution from below
• Stillwater ripple texture: soft, sculptural surface inspired by gentle water movement
• Minimal interior: clean, smooth inner shape keeps the overall look refined
• Made to order: each planter is printed individually with care

Best suited for
• indoor bonsai displays
• modern, Japandi, wabi-sabi, or minimalist interiors
• growers who want a more forgiving watering setup
• display shelves, desks, consoles, and window areas

Important note

For best results, use a bonsai soil mix that can wick moisture effectively. This planter is designed to help stabilize moisture, but some bonsai species prefer drier conditions between waterings. For sensitive species, avoid keeping the reservoir constantly full.

Purposeful materials:
• Outer shell: PLA (crisp texture and clean detail; available in earthy or modern tones)
• Inner liner: PETG (chosen for improved durability and moisture resistance)
• Made-to-order, uniquely printed with care: printed on demand to reduce waste; each piece has subtle, natural variation that reflects the crafted process.

Use & care notes (practical):
• Fill the reservoir insert with water and assemble; the system supports passive hydration (no electronics, no pumps).
• Best for typical indoor plants; avoid exposing the PLA outer shell to high heat (e.g., hot car, near heaters, direct high-temperature sunlight behind glass), as PLA can deform with heat.

⚠️ General Notes

🎨 Colors:
We offer color customization options. We offer standard natural matte tones, and also specialty finishes including sedimentary and marble options.

*Each piece is printed and shipped unpainted and uncoated.
We do sell limited hand painted models - Check our listings!

✅ Size:
Custom sizing allows you to perfectly match your space. Contact us if you have a specific size in mind.

⚙️ Material:
**This item is 3D printed in PLA (Polylactic Acid), a plant-based plastic commonly made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. PLA is often described as more environmentally friendly than many petroleum-based plastics you buy at the store because it is bio-based and industrially compostable under specific controlled conditions.

Durability and handling: PLA is lightweight and rigid. As with most rigid plastics, rough handling or high heat can damage it.

Heat note: PLA can soften or warp with heat. Avoid leaving it in hot cars, near heaters, or in direct sunlight for extended periods.

🌿 PLA is non-toxic for aquarium/vivarium applications and is commonly used in many food-contact, laboratory, and medical packaging applications.

⸻
💡 Finish & Print Quality:
Printed at high resolution and slow speed to preserve crisp texture of surfaces. Our prints are also reinforced for durability - they are denser and heavier than our competition.

As with all 3D-printed pieces, subtle layer lines and tiny variations are normal and part of the crafted character. Each piece is unique.

Colour variations between the finished product and website photos can occur due to lighting, screen calibration, photography settings and other technical and technological reasons. We do our best to represent colours and the overall architecture as accurately as possible.
