Bloem Saturn 12" Round Planter vs Bloem 12-inch Recycled Planter

Both are 12-inch Bloem plastic planters, so the real choice is the saucer. The Saturn ships with a snap-in saucer that catches runoff, which makes it the better pick for indoor pots on wood or carpet. The Round Recycled planter is a plain gray pot with drainage holes and no saucer, so it suits patios, porches and beds where drips don't matter. Owners rate the Saturn highly at 4.7 from 610 ratings; the Round Recycled has no comparable feedback here, so the Saturn is the safer bet on track record.

  • Choose the Saturn if the pot will sit indoors or on a surface you don't want water on, and you want the saucer included rather than bought separately.
  • Choose the Round Recycled if you want a neutral gray pot for outdoor use and already have a tray or a spot where runoff drains away.

What reviewers say

Bloem Saturn 12" Round Planter

  • 4.7 / 5610 ratings

Owners rate the Saturn highly, mostly for its drainage, attached saucer and outdoor durability. Complaints center on the thin plastic feel and pots tipping or overflowing in wind and heavy rain.

What people mention
  • DrainagePraisedOwners say the holes and saucer drain well and keep water off surfaces.
  • BuildMixedSome find the plastic sturdy enough for outdoor use, others say it feels thin.
  • StabilityCriticisedA few owners report tall plants tipping the light pot in wind.
  • SaucerMixedThe snap-in saucer is convenient but shallow and can overflow in heavy rain.

Questions and answers

Which is better for indoor plants?
The Saturn. Its snap-in saucer catches water that drains through the holes, so shelves and floors stay dry. The Round Recycled needs a separate tray indoors.
Which lasts longer outdoors?
Both are plastic and should hold up for several seasons. The Round Recycled uses recycled plastic and a plain gray finish that hides sun fading better than the Saturn's black.
Is the Saturn worth stepping up to over the Round Recycled?
Yes if you need the saucer, since buying a tray separately adds a part to manage. No if the pot lives outside where runoff drains away.
Do both have drainage holes?
Yes. Both are 12-inch Bloem plastic planters with drainage holes. Only the Saturn includes a saucer to go under them.
Can I use the Saturn outdoors?
Yes, it is built for indoor and outdoor use. Outdoors, empty the saucer after rain so roots don't sit in water.
Are they the same size?
Both are 12 inches across. The Round Recycled is listed at 10.95 inches tall; the Saturn's height for this size is not given.
