Yes, they have more volume, but the biggest difference is in surface area.

If a "typical" bonsai pot might be:

width (side to side): 2/3 the height of the tree
depth (front to back): 1/2 the height of the tree
height: 1/4 the height of the tree

The growing box might be:

width and depth: closer dimensionally to the height of the tree:
Height is usually deeper than the bonsai pot, because the tree is not yet adapted to a very shallow pot, but if the tree is adapted, the growing box could be fairly shallow.

Regards,

Matt
