Keep your bonsai soil where it belongs
Drainage mesh is one of those small details that makes bonsai care a lot easier. This flexible netting covers the drainage holes in your pots, keeping your carefully mixed soil from washing away while still letting excess water escape freely.
Simple, essential pot prep
A small piece of mesh over each drainage hole is standard practice in bonsai. It:
-
Prevents potting medium from escaping
-
Helps keep your work area cleaner
-
Protects roots from being exposed or disturbed as soil settles
I love how something this simple can make repotting feel more professional and dialed-in.
Durable mesh made for long-term use
This drainage netting is made from tough polyethylene, so it holds its shape and stays put under your soil. It’s designed to:
Because it doesn’t break down quickly, you can leave it in place through multiple growing seasons.
Easy to cut, fit, and customize
You get four (4) sheets of mesh, each measuring 10" x 4". That gives you plenty of material to tailor for different pots and layouts.
-
Cut to size for small or large drainage holes
-
Use one sheet for several tiny training pots
-
Layer pieces if you want extra support under larger soil particles
I find it especially handy when I’m prepping a batch of pots for spring repotting — one set of sheets goes a long way.
