The Aeroplas CT 35cm 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 35cm, this mid-sized saucer is a practical companion for appropriately sized nursery pots, decorative planters and other container-grown plants.

Manufactured by Aeroplas, a specialist UK horticultural manufacturer based in the West Midlands, the CT saucer range is designed for the practical requirements of growers, nurseries, garden centres and plant retailers.

The solid base and raised outer edge provide a defined area for collecting water draining through the container above. This helps prevent irrigation runoff, growing media and other debris from spreading freely across surrounding surfaces.

Finished in black, the saucer sits discreetly beneath conventional nursery containers and decorative pots. A full commercial pallet contains 1,440 saucers.

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.

A plant pot described as 35cm in diameter will therefore not necessarily fit inside the Aeroplas CT 35cm Saucer. Measure the actual pot base and allow sufficient 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. Professional growers should follow their established nursery hygiene procedures when moving reusable equipment between crops or growing areas.

When used outdoors, check the saucer following prolonged rainfall and remove excess water where required.
