Does anyone have any ideas on how to separate a saucer from a pot? I bought this planter at Big Lots and the saucer looks like it is glued on. Wondered if anyone has found any method on separating saucers that are glued together.

I think it’s just the outer decorative pot. I’ve seen some ceramic ones where they are attached also.

If it’s plastic, sometimes you have to use some force to punch out the saucer. When they package these I guess they condense and keep them together by attaching them in punctured holes that you have to pop out to detach. That’s what happened when I bought this pot from Home Depot. If it’s ceramic I’m going to assume it’s suppose to be attached. That’s my experience

I have one like this and the bottom is glued up there. I used a heat gun and the bottom came off
