Please sign in to see pricing

The 30cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a practical plastic drip tray designed to collect excess water beneath plant pots and containers, helping keep greenhouse benches, floors, patios and display areas cleaner during watering.

With a nominal diameter of 30cm (12 inches), this is the smallest saucer in the round range and is ideal for appropriately sized smaller and medium plant pots where a compact water-catching tray is required.

The solid base catches water draining through the pot above rather than allowing it to spread across the surrounding surface. It can also collect small amounts of compost and other material carried through the pot's drainage holes during watering.

Manufactured from durable black plastic, the saucer is lightweight, reusable and discreet beneath conventional nursery pots and decorative planters.

The complete range is available in 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm nominal diameters, allowing the most appropriate size to be selected for the container being used.

Why choose the 30cm Round Plant Pot Saucer?

30cm nominal diameter - compact size for appropriately sized smaller and medium pots.
Collects excess irrigation water - catches runoff from the drainage holes above.
Helps protect surfaces - reduces unwanted water and growing media around containers.
Solid base - retains drainage water rather than allowing it to pass through.
Durable plastic construction - practical for everyday plant growing and display.
Reusable design - easy to empty and clean between uses.
Black finish - unobtrusive beneath nursery pots and planters.
Useful for bottom watering - can temporarily hold water for suitable plants.
Indoor and outdoor applications - useful across a wide range of container-growing environments.
Part of a five-size range - additional sizes available up to 50cm.

Ideal for plant pots & growing containers

Good drainage is important for many container-grown plants, allowing surplus water to leave the growing medium after irrigation. A plant saucer provides a simple way to manage the resulting runoff.

The 30cm size is particularly useful where a compact saucer is needed beneath an appropriately sized container.

Typical applications include:

Nursery pots
Houseplant containers
Decorative planters
Greenhouse plants
Patio pots
Herbs and edible plants
Young ornamental plants
Garden centre plant displays

Measure the actual base of the container before selecting a saucer. The usable internal diameter will be smaller than the nominal 30cm overall measurement.

Catch excess water & protect surfaces

Water draining from plant pots can leave puddles, compost particles and fertiliser residue on greenhouse benches, patios, floors and other surfaces.

Positioning the 30cm saucer beneath a suitable container provides a dedicated collection area for this runoff, helping keep the immediate growing area cleaner.

Once the plant has finished draining, unwanted standing water can be emptied from the saucer as required.

Top watering & bottom watering

When plants are watered from above, excess moisture can drain naturally through the container and collect in the saucer below.

Where suitable for the crop and growing medium, the saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water placed directly into the saucer can be absorbed through drainage openings in the base of the pot.

Avoid leaving plants permanently standing in water unless this is appropriate for the species and growing method. Many plants require good aeration around the root zone as well as adequate moisture.

Useful for indoor plants & houseplants

A compact 30cm saucer can be particularly useful beneath indoor plant pots where irrigation water needs to be contained rather than allowed to reach surrounding surfaces.

The black finish provides a simple, neutral appearance beneath many common plant containers.

When using the saucer on furniture, timber floors or other moisture-sensitive surfaces, check regularly for condensation or trapped moisture beneath the tray and use additional surface protection where appropriate.

Practical for nurseries & garden centres

The saucer is equally useful in professional horticultural environments where individual pots require localised water collection.

Growers can use saucers beneath selected plants on greenhouse staging or benches, while garden centres can use them to help control runoff beneath suitable retail display plants.

Their simple reusable construction also makes the saucers easy to reposition as crops and displays change.

Available in five round sizes

30cm (12 inches)	This size, suitable for appropriately sized smaller and medium plant pots.
35cm (14 inches)	For appropriately sized medium nursery pots and planters.
40cm (16 inches)	For medium-to-large plant pots and containers.
45cm (18 inches)	For appropriately sized larger pots and planters.
50cm (20 inches)	The largest size in the range for suitably sized large containers.

How to choose the correct saucer size

Measure the diameter of the plant pot at its base, rather than simply using the advertised diameter across the top of the pot. Many nursery and decorative pots taper towards their base.

The pot base should sit comfortably within the usable internal area of the saucer, ideally leaving some surrounding space to collect water.

A plant pot described as 30cm in diameter will not necessarily fit inside this saucer because the saucer's usable internal diameter is smaller than its nominal overall measurement.

Cleaning & maintenance

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris that accumulates during use.

Periodic cleaning helps prevent the build-up of growing media and fertiliser deposits. In professional growing environments, follow normal nursery hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between crops.

When used outdoors, check the saucer after periods of prolonged rainfall and remove excess water where necessary.

45cm Round Plant Pot Saucer Black - Heavy Duty 18 Inch Drip Tray

£1.09

Please sign in to see pricing

The 45cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a large, durable plastic drip tray designed to sit beneath plant pots and containers, collecting excess irrigation water and helping protect the surrounding growing or display surface.

With a nominal diameter of 45cm (18 inches), this saucer provides a generous footprint for appropriately sized larger nursery pots, decorative planters and container-grown plants.

Water draining through the base of a plant pot is collected within the solid saucer rather than being allowed to run freely across greenhouse staging, floors, patios or display areas. This can help keep growing spaces cleaner and make routine irrigation easier to manage.

Manufactured from durable black plastic, the saucer is lightweight, reusable and discreet beneath conventional nursery pots and decorative containers.

The 45cm saucer forms part of a five-size range, with 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm options available for different container sizes.

Why choose the 45cm Round Plant Pot Saucer?

45cm nominal diameter - a generous size for appropriately sized larger pots and planters.
Collects drainage water - catches excess irrigation passing through the pot above.
Helps protect surfaces - reduces uncontrolled runoff, soil deposits and water around containers.
Solid base - designed to retain water rather than allowing it to drain straight through.
Durable plastic construction - practical for regular growing and display applications.
Reusable - simply empty and clean the saucer as required.
Black finish - discreet beneath conventional nursery pots and planters.
Indoor and outdoor applications - suitable for a wide variety of container-growing environments.
Useful for bottom watering - can hold water temporarily for suitable plants and growing systems.
Five sizes available - select the most appropriate saucer for the container being used.

Ideal for larger plant pots & planters

Larger container-grown plants can produce substantial runoff during watering, particularly when grown in free-draining composts or professional growing media.

A suitably sized saucer provides a simple way of collecting this excess water directly beneath the container.

The 45cm size can be useful beneath appropriate:

Large nursery pots
Decorative planters
Patio containers
Greenhouse-grown plants
Container-grown ornamentals
Shrubs and larger plants in pots
Garden centre display plants
Suitable fabric growing pots

Always measure the actual base of the container before selecting a saucer. The nominal diameter of the saucer refers to its overall size, so the usable internal diameter will be smaller.

Catch runoff & keep growing areas cleaner

Thoroughly watering a container normally results in some water passing through its drainage holes. While this is useful for achieving even moisture throughout the growing medium, the resulting runoff needs somewhere to go.

The 45cm saucer collects this water directly beneath the container, helping prevent it spreading across surrounding floors, greenhouse benches, patios and other surfaces.

It also helps contain small quantities of growing medium or other debris washed through the drainage holes, making the surrounding area easier to maintain.

Useful for top watering or bottom watering

When plants are watered conventionally from above, the saucer catches excess moisture draining through the pot. Any unwanted standing water can then be removed after the growing medium has finished draining.

For plants suited to bottom watering, water can instead be introduced directly into the saucer. Moisture is then drawn upwards through the pot's drainage openings and into the growing medium.

Avoid leaving plants standing permanently in water unless this is appropriate for the particular crop. Many plants require a balance between moisture and aeration around their roots.

Practical for nurseries & garden centres

Round pot saucers are useful wherever individual container-grown plants need localised control of irrigation runoff.

Nurseries can use them beneath individual specimen plants or containers where runoff needs to be contained, while garden centres can use saucers to help keep plant displays and surrounding surfaces cleaner.

The black finish remains visually unobtrusive beneath most nursery pots, helping keep attention on the plant rather than the drainage accessory.

Available in five sizes

The round saucer range provides several options for different container sizes:

30cm (12 inches)	For appropriately sized smaller plant pots and containers.
35cm (14 inches)	For medium-sized nursery pots and planters.
40cm (16 inches)	A larger option for substantial container-grown plants.
45cm (18 inches)	This size, designed for appropriately sized larger pots and planters.
50cm (20 inches)	The largest option in the range for suitably sized large containers.

How to choose the correct saucer size

Measure the base of the plant pot rather than relying on the pot's nominal top diameter. Most nursery and decorative pots taper towards the bottom, meaning their base can be considerably narrower than their maximum width.

The pot base should sit comfortably inside the usable area of the saucer with sufficient surrounding space to collect drainage water.

A pot described as 45cm in diameter will not necessarily fit a nominal 45cm saucer because the saucer's internal diameter is smaller than its overall external measurement.

Simple cleaning & maintenance

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove loose growing media, leaves and other debris from the saucer.

Periodic washing helps prevent the build-up of compost residues and fertiliser deposits. In professional nursery environments, follow the site's normal hygiene procedures when transferring equipment between crops.

If the saucer is being used outdoors, check it following prolonged rainfall to ensure the plant is not being left standing in excessive water.

Five sizes available - choose the most appropriate saucer for the pot being used.

Ideal for medium-sized plant pots & containers

Free-draining plant pots allow excess irrigation water to escape from the growing medium, helping maintain a suitable balance of moisture and air around the roots. The resulting runoff, however, needs to be managed.

Positioning a 35cm saucer beneath an appropriately sized container provides a simple collection area directly below the pot.

The saucer can be useful beneath appropriate:

Nursery pots
Decorative planters
Patio pots
Greenhouse plants
Container-grown ornamentals
Herbs and edible plants
Garden centre display plants
Suitable fabric growing pots

Always measure the actual base of the plant pot before selecting a saucer. The usable internal diameter will be smaller than the nominal 35cm overall measurement.

Catch runoff & keep growing areas cleaner

Water draining freely from pots can create puddles and leave growing media or fertiliser deposits on the surrounding surface.

A saucer catches this runoff directly beneath the container, making excess water easier to manage and helping keep greenhouse benches, indoor growing spaces, patios and display areas cleaner.

The saucer can simply be emptied once the container has finished draining, helping prevent unwanted standing water around the pot.

Useful for top watering & bottom watering

When watering conventionally from above, the saucer catches moisture passing through the drainage holes in the base of the container.

Where suitable for the plant and growing medium, the saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water placed in the saucer can be absorbed upwards through the drainage openings in the pot.

Remove unwanted standing water once the plant has absorbed the required moisture. Many container plants should not be left permanently sitting in water.

Practical for growers, nurseries & garden centres

Plant pot saucers provide a simple solution wherever irrigation runoff needs to be contained beneath individual pots.

Professional growers can use them beneath selected containers on benches or growing surfaces, while garden centres can use them beneath display plants where excess water could otherwise spread into customer areas.

The black finish complements conventional nursery pots and remains relatively unobtrusive beneath the container.

Available in five practical sizes

The round saucer range is available in five nominal diameters:

30cm (12 inches)	For appropriately sized smaller plant pots and containers.
35cm (14 inches)	This size, suitable for appropriately sized medium pots and planters.
40cm (16 inches)	For medium-to-large nursery pots and decorative containers.
45cm (18 inches)	For appropriately sized larger pots and planters.
50cm (20 inches)	The largest option in the range for suitably sized large containers.

How to choose the correct plant saucer size

Measure the bottom of the plant pot rather than relying solely on its advertised top diameter. Many plant pots taper considerably towards their base.

The pot should sit comfortably within the usable internal area of the saucer while leaving sufficient space around it to collect drainage water.

A pot described as 35cm in diameter will not necessarily fit inside a nominal 35cm saucer because the internal diameter of the saucer is smaller than its overall external measurement.

Simple cleaning & maintenance

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris that accumulates during use.

Periodic cleaning helps prevent the build-up of growing media and fertiliser residues. In professional growing environments, follow the nursery's normal hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between different crops.

When the saucer is used outdoors, check it following prolonged rainfall to ensure plants requiring free-draining conditions are not left sitting in excess water.

50cm Round Plant Pot Saucer Black - Heavy Duty 20 Inch Drip Tray

£1.45

Please sign in to see pricing

The 50cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a large, durable plastic drip tray designed to collect excess water beneath plant pots, protecting floors, greenhouse staging, patios and other growing surfaces from unwanted runoff.

With a nominal diameter of 50cm (20 inches), this generously sized saucer is particularly useful beneath larger nursery pots, decorative planters and growing containers where smaller drip trays would not provide sufficient coverage.

The solid base collects water draining from the pot above, helping prevent puddles, soil deposits and water stains around the growing area. This makes it a practical accessory for professional growers, nurseries, garden centres and gardeners maintaining larger container-grown plants.

Manufactured from durable black plastic, the saucer provides a lightweight, reusable solution for everyday watering and plant maintenance. Its understated finish complements conventional black nursery pots and a wide range of decorative containers.

This 50cm version is the largest in a range of five round saucers, with additional sizes available in 30cm, 35cm, 40cm and 45cm.

Why choose the 50cm Round Plant Pot Saucer?

Large 50cm diameter - suitable for use beneath appropriately sized large plant pots and containers.
Collects excess water - catches drainage runoff following watering.
Protects growing surfaces - helps reduce water stains, puddles and soil deposits.
Durable plastic construction - practical for regular use in growing and display environments.
Reusable design - can be emptied, cleaned and used repeatedly.
Professional black finish - complements nursery pots and decorative planters.
Useful for large containers - provides a generous collection area beneath suitable pots.
Indoor and outdoor applications - suitable for appropriate protected growing and garden environments.
Simple water management - makes collecting and removing drainage water more convenient.
Five sizes available - choose from 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm.

Ideal for large plant pots & containers

Large plant containers can release considerable amounts of water during irrigation, particularly when free-draining growing media are used.

Positioning a suitable saucer beneath the container helps collect this runoff in one location rather than allowing it to spread across the surrounding surface.

The 50cm saucer is particularly useful for:

Large nursery pots
Decorative indoor planters
Patio containers
Greenhouse-grown plants
Large ornamental plants
Container-grown shrubs
Garden centre plant displays
Suitable fabric growing pots

Always check the diameter of the pot's base against the usable internal diameter of the saucer. A nominal 50cm saucer does not necessarily accommodate a pot with a 50cm base.

Collect excess water & protect surfaces

Water escaping from drainage holes is a normal part of container growing, particularly when plants are irrigated thoroughly to wet the growing medium.

Without a suitable saucer, this water can collect on greenhouse benches, patios, floors and other surfaces. Over time, repeated runoff may contribute to staining, unwanted moisture and deposits of growing medium.

The 50cm Round Saucer provides a convenient collection area beneath the pot, helping keep the surrounding environment cleaner and making excess water easier to manage.

For indoor plants, this is particularly useful where water needs to be contained beneath decorative containers. For professional growers, saucers can help manage localised runoff beneath individual pots.

Using plant saucers for effective watering

A plant saucer can be used to collect excess water following top watering or, where appropriate for the crop, to provide water temporarily for uptake through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

When watering from above, allow excess water to drain into the saucer before removing any standing water that is not required.

Leaving plants permanently standing in water can create excessively wet growing conditions for species that require good drainage. The correct approach depends on the plant, growing medium and irrigation system.

For bottom watering, introduce a suitable amount of water into the saucer and allow the growing medium to absorb moisture through the pot's drainage openings. Remove remaining water when the required moisture level has been reached.

Practical for nurseries & garden centres

Professional nurseries and garden centres frequently handle large container-grown plants that require regular irrigation.

Using individual saucers beneath suitable containers can help reduce unwanted water runoff around display areas, plant holding spaces and protected growing environments.

The black finish provides a discreet appearance beneath conventional nursery pots, allowing the plant and container to remain the main visual focus.

Saucers can also be removed for cleaning or repositioning when displays change, making them a useful reusable accessory for plant retailers and commercial growers.

Available in five practical sizes

The round plant pot saucer range is available in five nominal sizes, allowing the appropriate saucer to be selected according to the container being used.

30cm (12 inches)	For appropriately sized smaller pots and containers.
35cm (14 inches)	For medium-sized nursery pots and planters.
40cm (16 inches)	For larger pots requiring additional runoff collection space.
45cm (18 inches)	For large nursery and decorative containers.
50cm (20 inches)	The largest size in this range, suitable for appropriately sized large pots and planters.

When selecting a saucer, measure the bottom of the plant pot rather than relying solely on its advertised diameter. Many pots taper towards the base, while saucers have an internal diameter smaller than their nominal overall measurement.

Cleaning & maintaining your plant saucer

Regular cleaning helps prevent the accumulation of compost particles, fertiliser deposits and other residues that can collect during routine watering.

Empty unwanted standing water and remove loose debris before washing the saucer with water and a suitable cleaning product where necessary.

In professional growing environments, follow the nursery's established hygiene procedures when moving saucers between different crops or production areas.

Check the saucer periodically for damage, particularly when supporting large or heavy containers.

40cm Round Plant Pot Saucer Black - Heavy Duty 16 Inch Drip Tray

£0.90

Please sign in to see pricing

The 40cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a durable plastic drip tray designed to sit beneath plant pots and containers, collecting excess irrigation water and helping protect surrounding surfaces from runoff, compost deposits and water marks.

With a nominal diameter of 40cm (16 inches), this saucer is a practical choice for appropriately sized medium-to-large nursery pots, decorative planters and container-grown plants.

The solid base catches water draining through the holes in the pot above, helping keep greenhouse staging, floors, patios, benches and plant display areas cleaner during routine watering.

Manufactured from durable black plastic, the saucer is lightweight, reusable and discreet beneath both conventional nursery pots and decorative containers.

This 40cm version sits in the middle of a five-size range comprising 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm round saucers.

Why choose the 40cm Round Plant Pot Saucer?

40cm nominal diameter - suitable for appropriately sized medium-to-large pots and planters.
Collects excess water - catches irrigation runoff beneath the container.
Helps protect surfaces - reduces uncontrolled water, compost deposits and mess around plant pots.
Solid base - retains drainage water for convenient removal.
Durable plastic construction - practical for regular growing and display applications.
Reusable - can be emptied, cleaned and used repeatedly.
Black finish - discreet beneath nursery pots and decorative containers.
Useful for bottom watering - can temporarily hold water for suitable crops.
Indoor and outdoor applications - useful across a range of container-growing environments.
Five sizes available - choose from 30cm through to 50cm.

Ideal for medium-to-large plant pots

Container-grown plants need adequate drainage, but the resulting runoff can create unwanted water and growing media deposits around the pot.

Placing an appropriately sized saucer beneath the container provides a simple collection point for this excess moisture.

The 40cm saucer can be useful beneath appropriate:

Nursery pots
Decorative planters
Patio containers
Greenhouse plants
Container-grown ornamentals
Herbs and edible plants in larger pots
Garden centre display plants
Suitable fabric growing pots

Measure the actual base of the pot before ordering. The usable internal diameter of a nominal 40cm saucer will be smaller than its overall external diameter.

Collect irrigation runoff & protect surfaces

Thorough watering should allow moisture to move throughout the growing medium, and in free-draining containers some water will normally emerge from the drainage holes.

The saucer catches this runoff directly beneath the pot rather than allowing it to spread across the surrounding area. This can be particularly useful on greenhouse benches, patios and indoor growing surfaces.

Small quantities of compost and other debris washed from the drainage holes can also be contained within the saucer, helping make routine cleaning easier.

Suitable for top watering & bottom watering

For conventional top watering, simply position the plant pot within the saucer and allow excess moisture to drain naturally from the container after irrigation.

Where suitable for the crop, the saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water placed in the saucer can be drawn upwards through the drainage holes and into the growing medium.

Avoid leaving plants permanently standing in water unless this is appropriate for the particular crop and growing method. Many plants require adequate air around their roots as well as moisture.

Useful for growers, nurseries & garden centres

Round saucers provide a straightforward way to manage runoff beneath individual container-grown plants in professional growing and retail environments.

Nurseries can use them beneath selected pots where water needs to be locally contained, while garden centres can use saucers beneath display plants to help keep surrounding areas cleaner.

The black finish is particularly practical beneath conventional black nursery containers, where the saucer remains visually unobtrusive.

Available in five practical sizes

The round saucer range includes five nominal diameters to accommodate different container sizes:

30cm (12 inches)	For appropriately sized smaller plant pots and containers.
35cm (14 inches)	For medium-sized nursery pots and decorative planters.
40cm (16 inches)	This size, providing a useful option for medium-to-large containers.
45cm (18 inches)	For appropriately sized larger pots and planters.
50cm (20 inches)	The largest option in the range for suitably sized large containers.

How to select the correct saucer

Measure the bottom diameter of the plant pot, not simply its maximum top diameter. Most plant pots taper towards their base, so these measurements can differ considerably.

Select a saucer with enough usable internal space for the base of the pot to sit comfortably inside while leaving some surrounding area for drainage water.

A pot described as 40cm in diameter will not necessarily fit within a nominal 40cm saucer, because the saucer's internal usable diameter is smaller than its overall measurement.

Simple cleaning & maintenance

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris as they accumulate.

Periodic washing helps prevent the build-up of fertiliser and growing media residues. In commercial growing environments, follow the nursery's established hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between crops.

When used outdoors, check the saucer following periods of prolonged rain to ensure plants that require free drainage are not left standing in excessive water.

40cm Round Plant Pot Saucer FAQs

What size is this plant pot saucer?

This saucer has a nominal diameter of 40cm (16 inches).

Will a 40cm plant pot fit in this saucer?

Not necessarily. The usable internal diameter is smaller than the nominal overall 40cm measurement. Measure the actual base of your pot before selecting the saucer.

What is a plant pot saucer used for?

It collects water draining from a plant pot and helps prevent uncontrolled runoff around the container.

Can I use the 40cm saucer outdoors?

Yes. It can be used beneath appropriately sized outdoor pots and planters. Check regularly for excess rainwater.

Can this saucer be used indoors?

Yes. It can help contain irrigation runoff beneath suitable indoor pots, although moisture-sensitive floors and furniture should still be protected appropriately.

Can I bottom-water plants using the saucer?

Yes, where appropriate for the plant. Water can be placed in the saucer and absorbed through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

Should water be left standing in the saucer?

For plants requiring free-draining conditions, unwanted standing water should normally be removed after the pot has finished draining or absorbing the required moisture.

Can I use this saucer beneath a fabric pot?

Yes, provided the fabric pot fits within the usable area. Remember that fabric containers can also release moisture through their sides.

What other sizes are available?

The range includes 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm round plant pot saucers.

How do I choose the right saucer size?

Measure the base of the plant pot and choose a saucer with sufficient internal space for the container plus room around it to collect drainage water.

The Aeroplas CT 45cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a durable plastic container saucer designed to collect excess irrigation water beneath larger plant pots, helping protect greenhouse benches, patios, floors and retail display areas from unwanted runoff.

With a nominal diameter of 45cm, this large round saucer is particularly useful beneath appropriately sized nursery containers, decorative planters and established container-grown plants.

Manufactured by Aeroplas, a specialist UK horticultural plastics manufacturer based in the West Midlands, the CT saucer provides a practical solution for managing drainage water in professional growing and plant retail environments.

The solid base and raised outer rim help contain water draining through the pot above, preventing it from spreading freely across surrounding surfaces. Small quantities of growing medium and other debris carried through drainage holes can also be collected.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas

Aeroplas is a UK manufacturer based in the West Midlands, specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry.

Its horticultural range includes nursery pots, carry trays and other growing accessories developed around the everyday requirements of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers.

The CT container saucer range complements conventional nursery pots by providing a practical means of collecting drainage water beneath individual containers.

For professional customers, choosing products from an established UK horticultural manufacturer also provides consistency when standardising growing accessories across nursery production and retail operations.

Ideal for large plant pots & containers

Larger plant containers often require substantial quantities of water during irrigation. When grown in free-draining media, some of this water will naturally pass through the drainage holes in the base of the pot.

The Aeroplas CT 45cm Saucer provides a dedicated collection area beneath the container, helping manage this runoff.

Suitable applications include:

Large nursery pots
Container-grown shrubs
Decorative patio planters
Greenhouse-grown plants
Established ornamental plants
Garden centre display containers
Indoor specimen plants
Suitable fabric growing containers

Compatibility depends on the actual diameter of the pot base. Always check that the container fits comfortably within the usable internal area of the saucer.

Collect irrigation runoff & protect surfaces

Water draining from plant pots can create puddles, leave compost deposits and contribute to staining on surrounding surfaces.

This is particularly relevant in garden centres, greenhouse environments and indoor plant displays where regular watering takes place.

Positioning the Aeroplas CT saucer beneath the container allows excess water to collect within the tray rather than spreading across the surrounding area.

The saucer can then be emptied when necessary, making routine watering and cleaning more manageable.

When used on timber decking or moisture-sensitive indoor surfaces, periodically lift the saucer and check for trapped moisture beneath it.

Using the Aeroplas CT Saucer for watering

The saucer can be used to collect drainage water following conventional top watering or, where appropriate for the crop, to provide water temporarily for uptake through the base of the plant pot.

Top watering

Water the plant normally and allow excess moisture to drain through the container into the saucer below.

Once drainage has finished, remove unwanted standing water to avoid leaving plants in excessively wet conditions.

Bottom watering

For plants suited to bottom watering, introduce a suitable quantity of water into the saucer and allow the growing medium to absorb moisture through the pot's drainage openings.

Remove remaining water once the required moisture level has been reached.

The correct watering method depends on the crop, growing medium, container size and environmental conditions.

Designed for professional nurseries & garden centres

The Aeroplas CT 45cm Saucer is particularly useful where larger container-grown plants require individual water collection.

Nurseries can use saucers beneath selected plants on growing benches or staging, while garden centres can position them beneath display containers to help prevent excess water reaching customer-facing areas.

The black finish works particularly well with conventional nursery pots, providing a professional and unobtrusive appearance.

For wholesale buyers, a full pallet contains 720 individual saucers, making this format suitable for commercial nursery operations and retailers purchasing in volume.

Choosing the correct container saucer size

When selecting a saucer, measure the diameter of the plant pot at its base rather than relying solely on the pot's advertised diameter.

Many nursery containers taper towards the bottom, meaning the base can be considerably narrower than the top of the pot.

The usable internal diameter of a saucer is also smaller than its nominal overall diameter. A pot described as 45cm in diameter will therefore not necessarily fit within a nominal 45cm saucer.

Select a saucer that comfortably accommodates the pot base while leaving sufficient surrounding space for collecting drainage water.

Cleaning & maintaining your Aeroplas saucer

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris that may accumulate during watering.

Wash the saucer periodically to prevent growing media and fertiliser deposits building up.

In professional nursery environments, follow established crop hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between growing areas or production batches.

When used outdoors, check the saucer after prolonged rainfall to ensure plants requiring free-draining conditions are not left standing in excess water.

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.

Why choose the Aeroplas CT 40cm Saucer?

40cm nominal diameter - suitable for appropriately sized medium-to-large plant pots and containers.
Effective water collection - catches excess irrigation runoff beneath the container.
Solid base - retains drainage water for convenient management.

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.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas

Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range is developed around the everyday requirements of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers.

The CT container saucer range provides a simple way to manage drainage beneath individual plant pots without changing the drainage characteristics of the container itself.

This makes the range suitable for professional growing environments as well as garden centre displays and domestic container gardening.

Ideal for container-grown plants

Free-draining plant pots allow surplus water to leave the growing medium after irrigation. While this is beneficial for many crops, the resulting runoff needs to be managed where pots are positioned on benches, patios, floors or display areas.

The Aeroplas CT 35cm Saucer provides a dedicated collection area directly beneath the container.

Typical applications include:

Nursery pots
Container-grown ornamentals
Decorative planters
Greenhouse plants
Patio containers
Herbs and edible crops
Garden centre display plants
Indoor container plants

Suitability depends on the actual base diameter of the container. Measure the pot before ordering to ensure it fits comfortably within the usable internal area of the saucer.

Collect water & protect surrounding surfaces

Water draining from a container can create puddles and carry small quantities of compost or fertiliser residue onto surrounding surfaces.

Positioning the CT 35cm Saucer beneath the plant provides a defined area for collecting this runoff, helping keep greenhouse staging, patios, floors and retail displays cleaner.

Once the plant has finished draining, unwanted standing water can be removed from the saucer as required.

Suitable for top watering & bottom watering

During conventional top watering, surplus moisture drains through the openings in the plant pot and collects in the saucer below.

Where suitable for the crop, the saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water introduced into the saucer can be absorbed upwards through the drainage holes in the container and into the growing medium.

Avoid leaving plants permanently standing in water unless this is appropriate for the species and growing system. Plants requiring free-draining conditions should have unwanted standing water removed after irrigation.

For growers, nurseries & garden centres

Individual saucers are useful in professional horticulture wherever runoff needs to be contained beneath selected plants.

Growers can position them beneath containers on greenhouse benches or nursery staging, while garden centres can use them beneath retail plants to help keep customer-facing display areas cleaner after watering.

The simple black finish complements conventional production pots and remains discreet beneath the container.

With 1,440 saucers per full pallet, the Aeroplas CT 35cm Saucer is available in a quantity suited to commercial growers, nurseries and wholesale plant retailers.

Aeroplas CT Container Saucer range

The Aeroplas CT saucer range is available in four nominal diameters, allowing growers and retailers to select an appropriate size for different containers.

30cm CT Saucer	For appropriately sized smaller containers.
35cm CT Saucer	This mid-sized option for suitable nursery pots and planters.
40cm CT Saucer	For appropriately sized medium-to-large containers.
45cm CT Saucer	The largest option in the range for suitably sized larger plant pots.

Choosing the correct saucer size

Measure the base diameter of the plant pot rather than relying solely on the pot's advertised top diameter. Many nursery containers taper towards the bottom.

The usable internal diameter of the saucer will also be smaller than its nominal overall diameter.

The CT saucer range provides a simple companion to container-grown plants, allowing drainage water to be collected directly beneath individual pots while retaining the free-draining characteristics of the container itself.

Ideal for container-grown plants

Most nursery and growing pots incorporate drainage openings to allow surplus irrigation water to leave the growing medium. While this helps maintain suitable root-zone conditions, the resulting runoff needs to be managed.

Suitability depends on the actual diameter of the pot base. Measure the container before ordering to ensure it fits comfortably within the usable internal area of the saucer.

Keep growing & display areas cleaner

Water draining freely from a container can leave puddles, compost particles and fertiliser residue on greenhouse benches, patios, floors and other surfaces.

Positioning the Aeroplas CT Saucer beneath the pot provides a defined area for collecting this runoff, helping keep the immediate growing or display area cleaner.

Once the plant has finished draining, unwanted standing water can be removed from the saucer as required.

Useful for top watering & bottom watering

During conventional top watering, excess moisture passes through the drainage openings in the container and collects in the saucer below.

Where appropriate for the crop, the CT Saucer can also be used for bottom watering. Water introduced directly into the saucer can be absorbed through the drainage holes in the plant pot and drawn into the growing medium.

Choosing the correct container saucer

Measure the diameter of the plant pot at its base rather than relying solely on the advertised diameter across the top of the container.

Most nursery pots taper towards their base, and the usable internal diameter of the saucer will also be smaller than its nominal overall 30cm measurement.

A plant pot described as 30cm in diameter will therefore not necessarily fit within this saucer. Check the actual base diameter and allow some surrounding space for drainage water.

Cleaning & maintenance

Empty unwanted standing water regularly and remove compost, leaves and other debris as it accumulates.
