Plastec Super Saucer 8 inch, Clear (SS008)
A sturdier clear saucer that protects floors, at a higher cost per saucer than multipacks.
We bought Curtis Wagner Plastics Drip Pan Plant Saucers (5-Pack), Clear, Round, Thin Plastic Plant Tray. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a clear round plastic plant saucer in the same 8 inch size from a known maker with a product page and retailer specs.
The short version
- Indoor plants in 6 to 8 inch pots on wood, carpet or tile
- Anyone who wants a clear saucer that keeps the floor under the pot dry
- You need saucers for many small pots and want the lowest cost per saucer
- You need a deep saucer to hold a lot of runoff and want a stated capacity
What owners like
- Raised base keeps floors dry under the pot
- Thicker and stiffer than thin drip pans, with a clear look
Common complaints
- Sold one at a time, so several plants cost more than a multipack
- Maker pages give no depth or capacity figures for each size

What it does
A clear 8 inch PET plant saucer with a raised air buffer base that keeps the pot off the floor; reviewed here in place of the thin Curtis Wagner 5 pack it resembles.
- Air buffer base lifts the planter so air flows under it
- Maker says it protects carpet, hardwood and tile from moisture
- Clear plastic that blends in under most pots
- A retailer describes it as nearly 5 times thicker than standard saucers
- Sold in nine sizes from 4 to 24 inches
A good fit for indoor plants on hardwood, carpet or tile, where a thin saucer can trap moisture against the floor. The trade-off is cost, since it sells as a single saucer while thin drip pans come in multipacks.

Plastec sells the saucer by its own diameter. Pick one at least as wide as the base of the pot, and step up a size if the pot base is close to 8 inches.

Plastec says its air buffer base lifts the planter and protects carpet, hardwood and tile from moisture.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. Plastec lists it for indoor and outdoor use.
What is it made of?
Clear PET plastic, which Plastec says is 100% recyclable. It is made in the USA.
