Gday Red!

My guess would be 2 legs to the front with the gap placed centrally. I've been wrong before...

Since we're talking a departure from the norm on pots I'd have to say whichever looks good with the individual tree and provides a balanced image. Besides two in front or one in front you could try lining up two feet on one side and just one on the other, thus making it look like a traditional four footed pot, but then why bother with a pot with only three feet in the first place?

Hmmmm a poser for a hoser, eh?

Most often I see these pots displayed with one leg in front, especially in traditional Japanese displays.

G'day all...

With three feet, and also the pix, I assume that we are discussing ROUND pots.

I do believe that all of my round pots have three feet. Consider that there are, in the simplest of terms, (1) small feet, with each space in between about 1/3 the diameter of the pot; and, (2) "large" feet with each foot about 1/3 the diameter of the pot, with small spaces in between.

Personally, I like the front to be the space between two (1) small feet...with one in back. However, I have seen bonsai planted with one foot smack dab in the center of the front. If, however, the pot has (2) "large" feet, my preference would be ONE "large" foot in front.

Now, if you are doing "Bonsai in the Round", maybe...maybe, I say...you will be able to view from SIX different fronts...or, maybe no front at all.

Enjoy your bonsai...

Pat
