Find out which planters work with the Round Saucer 15" by Plantatorem, plus practical tips for using it outdoors and indoors as a drip tray.
Quick answer
The Round Saucer 15" by Plantatorem fits planters with a base diameter up to 12 inches, making it ideal for medium-to-large pots that need a sturdy drip tray or protective base outdoors.
Why size matters for a planter saucer
A saucer that is too small won't catch all the runoff, while one that is too large can look awkward or collect debris. The Round Saucer 15" has an outer diameter of 15 inches and an inner diameter of 12 inches, so it is designed for pots with a base width of 12 inches or less. This leaves a 1.5-inch rim around the pot—enough to catch drips without overwhelming the planter.
If your pot has a wider base or a tapered shape, measure the bottom before buying. The saucer works best with straight-sided or slightly tapered planters that sit flat on the rim.
Material and color coordination
The saucer is available in eight colors, including Antique Jade, Falling Aqua, Falling Blue, Green Stream, Lavish Red, Matte Black, White Satin, and White White. This range lets you match or contrast with your planter and outdoor decor. For a seamless look, choose a color that matches your pot; for a pop of accent, pick a contrasting shade.
Note that the saucer's color options are the same as those offered by Plantatorem for many of their planters, so coordinating a set is straightforward.
Trade-offs: indoor vs. outdoor use
While the Round Saucer 15" is suited for both indoor and outdoor use, its primary strength is as an outdoor drip tray for large pots on patios, decks, or garden beds. Indoors, it works well under heavy planters that need a waterproof base, but the 15-inch diameter may be too large for narrow shelves or tight corners.
If you need a saucer for a small indoor pot or a tight space, consider a smaller size. The saucer is not designed for pots smaller than 10 inches in base diameter, as the rim would be too wide and look disproportionate.
Decision rules for the Round Saucer 15"
- Check pot base diameter: Measure the bottom of your planter. If it is 12 inches or less, the saucer will fit. If it is larger, choose a saucer with a wider inner diameter. Always measure before buying.
- Consider the pot shape: Straight-sided or slightly tapered pots sit best on the saucer. Pots with very flared bases or feet may not center properly.
- Match or contrast color: Use the color options to either blend with your planter or create an accent. For outdoor use, lighter colors may show dirt more easily. Choose a color that complements your setting.
- Use as a drip tray outdoors: Place the saucer under large pots on patios, decks, or garden beds to catch runoff and protect surfaces. It also works indoors under heavy planters.
- Avoid for very small pots: If your pot base is under 10 inches, the saucer's wide rim will look oversized. Choose a smaller saucer instead. Not for small planters.
