Commonly known as: Black Drip Trays / Plant Saucers / Pot Water Trays
Product type: Plastic Drip Trays (Assorted Sizes)
Our Black Drip Trays are practical, sturdy plant saucers designed to fit comfortably beneath a wide range of pot sizes. Whether you’re watering thirsty aroids, keeping peace lilies tidy, or managing moisture for outdoor containers, these trays help prevent mess and protect your surfaces from water rings or soil spills.
Made from lightweight, durable plastic, each tray has a raised lip to hold water safely without overflow. They’re ideal for indoor plant shelves, tabletops, patios, and windowsills — and because they’re black, they blend in effortlessly with most pots and décor styles.
These trays are especially useful for plants that need consistent moisture, as they allow excess water to drain fully while keeping it contained. Perfect for potting setups, repotting benches, and everyday plant care.
Black Drip Trays Uses
Watering – How do drip trays help with watering?
Drip trays catch excess water as it drains from the pot, keeping surfaces clean and dry. They make watering easier because you can water until runoff without worrying about spills. Just remember to empty standing water after 20–30 minutes for plants that dislike “wet feet.”
Can drip trays sit in sunny spots?
Yes — these trays are durable and UV-resistant, so they can be used on sunny patios or bright windowsills. For very hot outdoor areas, avoid leaving standing water in the tray for long periods to prevent overheating of roots.
Humidity – Can drip trays help improve humidity?
Yes — for humidity-loving plants, you can add a thin layer of pebbles to the tray and fill with water below the pot’s base. As the water evaporates, it gently increases humidity around the plant without soaking the roots.
Feeding – Can fertiliser drain into the tray?
Yes, but avoid letting fertiliser-rich water sit in the tray for long. Empty after watering, so salts don’t pool and possibly re-absorb into the soil.
Repotting – Are drip trays useful for repotting?
Definitely. Place your pot on a tray while repotting to keep soil contained and your workspace clean. After repotting, the tray helps catch the first heavy waterings used to settle the mix.
Pests – Do drip trays attract pests?
Only if water is left standing for very long. Empty trays regularly to avoid fungus gnats breeding in still water. Clean with mild soap when needed.
Temperature – Can trays handle outdoor heat or cold?
Yes — they tolerate a wide temperature range and won’t crack easily. Just avoid exposing trays with frozen water to sudden temperature changes.
