Sizing Guide
🌿 BONSAI DISPLAYS
Quick Rule: Figurine height should be about 1/3–1/5 of bonsai height. Always keep the tree the main character.
Inspiration: Figurines are accents. Sometimes a small piece feels right, other times a larger one works. Step back, look at your tree, and let your eye tell you what feels balanced.
Ideas to try: A lantern under an upright tree, a bridge near a slanting trunk, or a fisherman at the base of a cascade. Mix and match until the scene feels natural.

So cute and perfect for my first aquarium! I love it!
Dear Luke, we're so happy to hear that you love your pagoda! Welcome to the world of aquascaping, and enjoy creating a beautiful underwater world.
This is a miniature pagoda statue made of terracotta. The item is sturdy, durable and weather resistant. The pagoda statue looks really good in the Zen Garden. Overall, love this little pagoda, just wish it were a little bigger
Beautiful product, carefully packaged, fast delivery, 10 likes for the shop.
I loved the style of this and purchased one for an Asian themed tank. The details are great. The natural clay material looks beautiful against the green plants and yellow gravel. Our fish love swimming around it. The important thing is it is safe for my fish. I'll definitely order more
This is a great addition to my meditation alter. The size is perfect. Unfortunately it came with a small chip in it, but I love it
