Earl,
Here are two online retailers that I have used in the past. You may find something you like there.
https://www.dallasbonsai.com/store/bonsai_pot_index.html

And since you are in Florida here's a few others. I have never dealt with these last two.

Funny story. I went to a local nursery to pick up some stuff for the season and when the lady on duty asked me if I needed help, I asked her if they had any bonsai stuff. She stopped, thought a bit, then asked, "are those the trees with the big elephant leaves?"bonsaiboy wrote:Also, check local nursuries in your area that may sell them. And remember, different websites offer different pots, so to recommend one would be foolish; they may not offer the type of pot you need.
At least she was trying to help ha. But the guy she was helping told me of a place close by to pick up what I was looking for.

I havent had any luck with nurserys or stores in my area for Bonsai supplies. I did find a small pottery shop that had a few hand made Bonsai pots.
I order most my Bonsai supplies off the internet, I found that ordering several things at a time saves money on shipping. https://www.joebonsai.com has ok pricing on pots, I have had good experiences ordering from here.
Unlike most places online you might order from, If you order a tree from joebonsai.com the tree in the photo is the actual tree for sale and comes with a humidity/drip tray at no additional cost. I have ordered a couple trees from joebonsai and I would recommend this site if you want to order a tree or bonsai supplies online.
