How to Use the  TC 18-Inch Pot Plate

Select the Right Pot: Choose a very large pot that fits within the 18-inch diameter of the saucer. The base of the pot should be smaller than or equal to the saucer size to ensure all excess water is captured.’

Position the Pot Plate: Place the pot plate on a stable, flat surface where you intend to keep your plant, such as floors, tables, shelves, patios, or decks.
Place the Pot: Center the plant pot on the saucer, ensuring it is balanced and stable to prevent tipping.

Watering: Water your plant as usual. The excess water will drain out of the pot and be collected in the saucer.
Avoid overwatering by ensuring the pot drains properly and the saucer can catch all the runoff.

Maintenance: Regular Cleaning: Clean the saucer regularly to prevent mold, mildew, and algae buildup. This is especially important if the saucer is used indoors or in shaded areas.

Empty Excess Water: Check and empty the saucer frequently to avoid stagnant water, which can attract pests and cause root problems.
