Q: What size saucer should I choose for my pot?
According to the length of the pot. The saucer of 60cm is suitable for 60cm pots. The one of 75cm is for 80cm pots (slightly shorter, it fits perfectly under the pot). The one of 84cm is for large pots of 100cm (same logic). A saucer slightly shorter than the pot is normal — it just needs to be wide enough to collect all the water that drains from the bottom holes.
Q: Can the saucer serve as a mini-water reserve?
Yes — the water retained in the saucer is accessible to the roots through the drainage holes of the pot by capillarity. It is not an automatic reservoir like those of the Glamour, Ethica, or Plano pots, but a natural reserve that slightly extends the autonomy between two waterings. In summer on a sun-exposed balcony, this reserve is particularly useful.
Q: Is this saucer only compatible with the pots in the catalog?
No — the Rectangle XXL saucer can accompany any rectangular pot of compatible dimensions, regardless of the brand. Its rectangular shape and three sizes (60, 75, and 84cm) make it compatible with the vast majority of rectangular pots on the market in these lengths.
Q: Can you use a saucer of a different color than the pot?
Yes — and it is even a very effective way to personalize the composition. A Terra saucer under an Anthracite pot creates a very warm and Mediterranean contrast. An Anthracite saucer under a Terra pot reverses the same effect. A saucer in the same color as the pot creates a very monochromatic and very clean composition. The three available colors (Taupe, Anthracite, Terra) are all present in the range of rectangular pots in the catalog — the choice to match or contrast is entirely free.
Q: Can this saucer stay outside all year round?
Yes — double use for balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. Polypropylene is tested down to -20 °C and treated with UV protection for all six colors. In winter, regularly emptying the saucer prevents frozen water from exerting excessive pressure on the polypropylene.
