£1.45

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.

  • Useful for large containers - provides a generous collection area beneath suitable pots.
  • Indoor and outdoor applications - suitable for appropriate protected growing and garden environments.

  • 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.

50cm Round Plant Pot Saucer FAQs

What size is this plant pot saucer?

This saucer has a nominal diameter of 50cm (20 inches), making it the largest option in the five-size range.

Will a 50cm plant pot fit inside this saucer?

Not necessarily. The advertised saucer size is nominal, and its usable internal diameter may be smaller. Measure the base of your pot and check that it will fit comfortably inside the saucer.

What is the saucer made from?

The saucer is manufactured from durable plastic designed for practical everyday use beneath plant containers.

Can this saucer be used outdoors?

Yes. It can be used beneath suitable outdoor pots and planters. Check regularly for accumulated rainwater, particularly during wet weather.

Is the 50cm saucer suitable for fabric pots?

It can be used beneath suitable fabric growing pots, provided the pot base fits within the usable area of the saucer. Fabric pots may release moisture through their sides as well as their bases.

Can I use this saucer for bottom watering?

Yes, where appropriate for the plant and growing medium. Water can be introduced into the saucer and absorbed through the pot's drainage holes. Remove excess standing water when watering is complete.

Should I leave water standing in the saucer?

For most plants grown in free-draining compost, prolonged standing water should be avoided. Empty excess water after drainage unless the crop and irrigation method specifically require otherwise.

Can the saucer protect wooden decking?

It can help collect runoff and reduce direct water and compost deposits on decking. However, moisture can still accumulate beneath the saucer, so periodically lift it and allow the surface to dry.

What other sizes are available?

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

How do I choose the correct saucer size?

Measure the diameter of the pot's base and select a saucer with sufficient internal space to accommodate it while leaving room to collect excess water.
