We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.

No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?

    I usually put a smaller container with drainage holes into pots like these. Enjoy the decorative look without worrying about root rot.

      I think this is probably the way I’ll try before going to a drill.

      I didn’t think something like this would be effective. Do you put anything in around the plastic pot?

        I sometimes prop mine up on something, so the pot isn’t sitting in the drained water. But even if not, the exposure to air usually means it dries out pretty quick.
