FAQs
Does this pot have drainage holes?
No, the Classic Grey Saucer Pot does not feature pre-drilled drainage holes.
Can this be used outdoors?
While it can be used on a covered patio, it is primarily designed for indoor use to prevent water pooling inside the base.
What is the material of the pot?
The pot is crafted from a durable material finished with a matte, smooth grey coating.
How do I prevent root rot in a pot without drainage?
Ensure you do not overwater your plant and consider using a layer of pebbles or charcoal at the bottom to create a small reservoir for excess moisture.
Is the surface easy to clean?
Yes, the smooth matte finish is very low-maintenance and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom of the pot
Use a plastic nursery pot inside the Saucer Pot to lift the plant above any excess water, or add a drainage layer of gravel at the base.
Visible water stains on the matte surface
Gently clean the exterior with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution, then dry immediately with a clean towel.
Pros and Cons

- Sturdy construction with a stable base

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Classic Grey Saucer Pot is straightforward. Since the vessel lacks a drainage hole, it is recommended to add a layer of expanded clay pebbles or perlite at the bottom to provide drainage space for roots.
Compatibility
- Plant Types: Ideal for cacti, succulents, small ferns, and indoor herbs.
- Placement: Best suited for stable, flat surfaces such as tables, shelves, and window ledges.
Care Instructions
- To keep the matte finish looking its best, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the matte surface.
- When watering, pour slowly and check for saturation to ensure the roots do not sit in standing water, which can cause root rot.
