£0.00

The Aeroplas CT 30cm Round Plant Pot Saucer in Black is a durable container saucer designed to collect excess irrigation water beneath plant pots, helping keep greenhouse benches, patios, floors and retail display areas cleaner.

With a nominal diameter of 30cm, this is the smallest size in the Aeroplas CT container saucer range and is a practical choice 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 range provides professional growers, nurseries and garden retailers with a straightforward way to manage drainage beneath individual containers.

The solid base and raised outer edge collect water draining through the pot above, helping prevent irrigation runoff and loose growing media from spreading freely across surrounding surfaces.

Finished in black, the saucer provides a discreet appearance beneath conventional nursery containers and decorative pots. A full commercial pallet contains 1,870 saucers.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas

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

Its range is developed around the practical requirements of commercial growers, nurseries and garden retailers, including products for plant production, handling and presentation.

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.

The Aeroplas CT 30cm Saucer provides a dedicated collection area 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 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.

Plants requiring free-draining conditions should not normally be left permanently standing in water. Remove unwanted excess water once the required moisture level has been reached.

For growers, nurseries & garden centres

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

Nurseries can position them beneath containers on greenhouse benches or staging, while garden centres can use them beneath suitable retail plants to help keep customer-facing areas cleaner following watering.

The black finish complements conventional nursery pots and remains visually discreet beneath the plant.

With 1,870 saucers per full pallet, this 30cm version is available in a quantity suited to commercial nursery production and wholesale plant retail.

Aeroplas CT Container Saucer range

The Aeroplas CT range is available in four nominal diameters, providing options for a variety of container sizes.

30cm CT Saucer This compact option for appropriately sized plant pots and containers.
35cm CT Saucer 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 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.

Periodic cleaning helps prevent growing media and fertiliser residues building up inside the saucer. In commercial nurseries, follow normal crop hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between growing areas.

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