Plant Saucer Hack!

Plant saucers can get pricey, so I found a cheaper alternative that works really well. Dollar Tree sells clear Lazy Susans for $1.50, and they’re pretty sturdy.

They have ball bearings on the bottom, which makes it easy to rotate your plants without lifting them so they can get even light.

I’ve even seen the exact same turntable at Walmart for around $10. On top of being functional, they also look much neater than traditional plant saucers.
