Setup
The Bond 17in Clear Plastic Saucer is designed for immediate use with minimal setup required.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the saucer from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Placement: Position the saucer on a flat, stable surface where your plant pot will be placed. Ensure the surface can withstand potential water spills.
- Pot Compatibility: Verify that the base of your plant pot fits within the 17-inch diameter of the saucer.
Operating Instructions
The primary function of this saucer is to collect excess water that drains from plant pots, protecting surfaces from water damage and preventing root rot.
- Water Collection: Place your potted plant directly onto the saucer. When watering your plant, any excess water will drain through the pot's drainage holes and collect in the saucer.
- Preventing Overwatering: Monitor the water level in the saucer. If water accumulates, allow the plant to reabsorb some of it, or carefully empty the saucer to prevent the plant from sitting in standing water for extended periods, which can lead to root rot.
- Surface Protection: The saucer acts as a barrier, protecting floors, furniture, and other surfaces from water stains and damage.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your plastic saucer and ensure its effectiveness.
- Cleaning: Periodically empty any collected water and clean the saucer. Use mild soap and water to remove dirt, mineral deposits, or algae. Rinse thoroughly.
- Inspection: Inspect the saucer for cracks or damage, especially if it has been exposed to extreme temperatures or heavy impacts. Damaged saucers may leak and should be replaced.
- Storage: If storing the saucer, clean it thoroughly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
