Do plant pots need saucers?

1 Answer
Do plant pots need saucers?
No, plant pots do not need saucers. While saucers are not necessary, some choose to place a plant pot over a saucer to collect the water that drains from the pot. Others recommend against saucers because water that collects will keep the soil of the plant too moist, an unhealthy condition for most plants.
