I've had issues with some of the water trays from home depot not hitting exact measurements either; the higher quality hard plastic ones run smaller at the base and bigger at the rim than the cheap ones

### Grace commented on 2026-01-18

That is so annoying it happens to me all the time

Guess you NEED another plant for that pot.....and another pot for your existing plant!
