The plant pots I currently have didn’t have holes on the bottom. I knew it wasn’t good for my plants but I just used it thinking it would be okay if I watered them carefully. After killing a few plants, I realised that there’s a reason why people say holes at the bottom of the container is critical. It allows water in the soil to drain freely so that it can prevent root rot. There’s only a few plants that can tolerate stagnant water. So I made holes under the pots for my plants.
I tried to drill it but it seemed like it would take hours to make a hole.
I used a glue gun and it was easier! I did it for the Phlebodium Aureum and Calathea Orbifolia plants. I think I will do the same thing for the rest of the pots.
I could have put smaller pots, which already have holes, into the white pot with no holes, but I didn’t have the small pots and didn’t want to buy new ones. So I made some holes. Also I don’t like using pots with holes on them since I don’t like pot saucers.
Anyway I will think about the design of the pots and saucers some other day. I’m just caring for the plants for now.
