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.
Finished in black, the saucer provides a discreet appearance beneath conventional nursery pots and decorative containers. Its reusable construction makes it suitable for everyday watering and plant maintenance.
For commercial growers and wholesale customers, the Aeroplas CT 45cm Saucer is supplied in quantities of 720 saucers per full pallet.

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.
