Do you want me to do some translation for you from English to Chinese or vise verse? If so, please give me the 8 names in English/Chinese and I will try to get you the names in the other language. Happy Bonsai! Sandy Hi Kai Ming,

I am very new to Bonsai tree , just started not long ago. All these while I was growing adenium trees and because the adenium consist of bonsai shape, I started to learn how to develope it to the highest level. I have bought several pots of bonsai and they are really beautiful and make me crazy everyday(work). Here, I would like to ask about the tree name because the other day one chinese man trying to speak in mandarin about China popular trees. I can't really understand him because I have not study chinese words(character) before. Could you translate or give me the top 8 bonsai plants name (China) so that I will label them on my pots. Thank you for your assistant. Kai Ming Hi Sandy,

Somehow I missed this message of yours. Zisha pot is baked somewhere between 1100-1200 C. After baked in such high temperature (higher than regular clay), Zisha clay will melt, decompose and shrink, leaving the clay with many micro pores. And with this physical characteristic, pots that are made in Zisha don't crack in huge temperature differences. While I have never tested a Zisha pot in such cold temperature, I guess they won't crack even in such cold temperature. You can give it a try. But of course, I wouldn't suggest you to test this with the nicest, dearest ones :) Happy Bonsai! Hi Jeff,

I love these pots, and have several of them, but don't want to use them for trees kept outdoors all year in our climate. Temperatures in the winter here can fall to -20 to -25 degrees C (on rare occasions lower than this). Thanks! Jeff Hi Sandy,
