Water Stain Prevention for Potted Plants

Water leaking from plants can cause unsightly damage to shelves and decking. Pots often often leave water spots and rust stains. If left unattended, standing water can cause wood to warp and rot. One way to eliminate these problems is by using pot pads under your planters.

These pods attach to the bottom of the pot and elevate growing pots from the ground level. They are about 3/4 of an inch thick, which is enough to allow airflow without making the pot unsteady or top heavy. 4 pads are recommended per pot for stable, well-balanced support.

Raising the pots promotes evaporation of spilled water, and protects the surface underneath from water damage. Rapid evaporation prevents mold or mildew and also helps cool down your pots. Airflow underneath the pot will prevent harmful bacteria from attacking the roots or attacking the finish of your shelves, tables, or deck surfaces.

These pot footings are Terra Cotta colored so that they blend in with most types of ceramic pot. One side has a rigid rubber dome topped with a non-skid rubber grip pad. The other side has a suction pad for mounting to the pot.

Each order includes 2 packs of 4 pads - 8 footings in total.
