It is designed to promote healthier plants by preventing root rot through efficient water drainage while simultaneously protecting your furniture and flooring from water damage and soil stains.

FAQs

Is this saucer suitable for indoor use?

Yes, it is excellent for indoor use as it protects your floors and furniture from water spills.

Can I use this with other brands of planters?

While it may fit other brands of similar dimensions, it is specifically optimized for the Elho Green Basics 60cm trough.

Is the material safe for the environment?

Yes, it is made of 100% recycled plastic and is fully recyclable itself.

How heavy is the saucer?

The saucer is very lightweight, weighing only 140 grams.

What are the dimensions of the saucer?

The saucer measures 600mm in width, 150mm in depth, and 30mm in height.

Troubleshooting

Water overflowing the saucer

You are likely overwatering your plants. Reduce the volume of water applied at one time and allow the soil to drain more gradually.

Saucer keeps sliding on smooth surfaces

Place a thin, non-slip rubber mat or felt pad under the saucer to increase friction and stabilize the trough.

Visible white mineral deposits

Hard water minerals can build up over time. Use a mixture of vinegar and water to scrub the saucer, which will dissolve the mineral deposits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects surfaces from water damage
  • Promotes optimal plant health via drainage
  • Environmentally conscious manufacturing (100% recycled plastic)
  • Lightweight and easy to move
  • Sleek design fits well with various decor styles

Cons

  • Requires removal during freezing temperatures
  • Designed specifically for the Elho Green Basics range
  • Not suitable for very heavy, wide-based non-Elho pots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your saucer, simply place it on a level surface and align the base of your 60cm Elho trough within the recessed area. Ensure the trough is centered to provide the best weight distribution.

Regarding care, the material is highly durable; however, it should be cleaned seasonally to prevent algae buildup if left outdoors. If you live in a climate where temperatures drop below freezing, remove the saucer from beneath your trough. Allowing the saucer to stay filled with water during a freeze can cause the water to expand and trap cold air against the roots, which may damage or kill your plants. During the off-season, the plastic is easy to store due to its slim profile.
