Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
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.

45cm Round Plant Pot Saucer FAQs
Will a 45cm plant pot fit in a 45cm saucer?
Not necessarily. The usable internal diameter of the saucer is smaller than its nominal overall diameter. Measure the actual base of your pot before selecting the saucer.
What is the saucer used for?
It sits beneath a plant pot to collect excess irrigation water and help keep surrounding surfaces cleaner and drier.
Can I use the 45cm saucer outdoors?
Yes. It can be used beneath suitable outdoor pots and planters. Check for excessive standing water after periods of heavy rain.
Can this saucer be used indoors?
Yes. It can help contain drainage water beneath suitable indoor plant containers, although care should still be taken on moisture-sensitive floors and furniture.
Can I bottom-water plants using this saucer?
Yes, where bottom watering is appropriate for the crop. Add water to the saucer and allow the growing medium to absorb it through the pot's drainage openings.
Should excess water be emptied from the saucer?
For plants requiring free-draining conditions, unwanted standing water should normally be removed once the pot has finished draining.
Is the saucer suitable for fabric pots?
It can be used beneath appropriately sized fabric pots, although moisture may also escape through the sides of a fabric container.
What other saucer sizes are available?
The range includes 30cm, 35cm, 40cm, 45cm and 50cm round saucers.
How should I choose the correct size?
Measure the bottom of the plant pot and choose a saucer with enough internal space for the base plus a suitable surrounding area to collect drainage water.
