The Aeroplas CT 40cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a durable container saucer designed to collect excess irrigation water beneath plant pots, helping protect greenhouse benches, patios, floors and retail display areas from unwanted runoff.
With a nominal diameter of 40cm, this round saucer provides a practical water-catching solution for appropriately sized nursery pots, decorative planters and container-grown plants.
Manufactured by Aeroplas, a specialist UK horticultural manufacturer based in the West Midlands, the CT saucer range is designed around the practical requirements of professional growers, nurseries, garden centres and plant retailers.
The solid base and raised outer edge help contain water draining from the pot above rather than allowing it to spread freely across surrounding surfaces. The saucer can also catch small amounts of growing medium and other debris carried through the drainage holes during irrigation.
Finished in black, the saucer sits discreetly beneath conventional nursery pots and decorative containers. A full commercial pallet contains 1,020 saucers.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its product range is developed around the practical requirements of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers.
The CT saucer range provides a straightforward companion to container-grown plants, allowing excess irrigation water to be managed directly beneath individual pots.
UK manufacture also makes the range particularly relevant to professional horticultural businesses looking to source core growing and handling products from an established domestic manufacturer.
Ideal for container-grown plants
Container-grown plants need adequate drainage, but the water leaving a pot after irrigation can create puddles and deposits on surrounding surfaces.
The Aeroplas CT 40cm Saucer provides a dedicated collection area beneath the container, making drainage water easier to control.
Suitable applications include:
- Nursery pots
- Container-grown shrubs
- Decorative planters
- Greenhouse plants
- Patio containers
- Established ornamentals
- Garden centre display plants
- Indoor specimen plants
The actual suitability of a container depends on the diameter of its base. Measure the pot before ordering to ensure it fits comfortably within the usable area of the saucer.
Manage irrigation runoff
Good container drainage allows excess irrigation water to leave the growing medium, helping prevent prolonged saturation around plant roots.
Without a saucer, this runoff can spread across greenhouse staging, floors, patios and retail displays. It can also carry small amounts of compost or fertiliser residue with it.
Positioning the CT 40cm Saucer beneath the container provides a defined area for collecting this water, helping keep the immediate growing or display area cleaner.
Unwanted standing water can then be removed once the plant has finished draining.
Top watering & bottom watering
During conventional top watering, excess moisture drains through the holes in the plant pot and collects in the saucer below.
Where appropriate for the crop, the saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water introduced directly into the saucer can be absorbed upwards through the pot's drainage openings and into the growing medium.
Avoid leaving plants permanently standing in water unless this is appropriate for the species and growing method. For plants requiring free-draining conditions, remove excess water once irrigation or absorption is complete.
For nurseries, growers & garden centres
The Aeroplas CT 40cm Saucer is particularly useful where individual container-grown plants need localised runoff collection.
Commercial growers can position saucers beneath selected containers on greenhouse benches or nursery staging, while garden centres can use them beneath suitable retail plants to help keep display areas cleaner following watering.
The simple black finish complements conventional production pots and remains visually unobtrusive beneath the plant.
With 1,020 saucers per full pallet, the product is also available in a quantity suited to professional nursery production and wholesale plant retail operations.
Choosing the correct saucer size
Measure the base diameter of the plant pot rather than relying solely on the pot's nominal top diameter. Most nursery containers taper towards the bottom, meaning the base can be considerably narrower than the top.
The usable internal diameter of the saucer is also smaller than its nominal overall 40cm measurement.
For this reason, a plant pot described as 40cm in diameter will not necessarily fit inside the Aeroplas CT 40cm Saucer. The actual pot base should be measured before purchase.
Cleaning & maintenance
Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris as it accumulates.
Periodic cleaning helps prevent growing media and fertiliser residues building up inside the saucer. Professional growers should follow their normal nursery hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between crops or growing areas.
When used outdoors, check the saucer after prolonged rainfall and remove excess water where necessary.
