Selecting the Right Plant Saucer For Your Planter

Plant saucers can be a valuable addition to your planter for many reasons. They can serve an essential function in water retention, collecting excess water from the drainage holes under the potted plant. They can also keep your floor clean, free of scratches or stains, ensuring that your indoor carpet or outdoor patio remains in pristine condition. And of course, they can offer a beautiful design addition to your planters. In any case when selecting the right saucer for your planter it is important to tailor selection to your planter needs. Use this guide to make the best selection. 

Before you begin considering which type of plant saucer you would like to select for your planter it is first important to gather measurements. Measure the bottom diameter of your planter by following these steps: 

1. Place two pieces of tape, ribbon or any straight edge you have at home parallel to each other on either side of the planter.

    

2. Use a tape measure to measure in between. This will be the diameter of your planter.

Next, review your planter saucer options to understand the type of protection you are looking for and your individual needs.
