I just repotted my pink dragon plant yesterday but put it in a pot without drainage holes 😰 is it okay for me to keep it in here? Or should I move it to a something else? It’s been thriving so I don’t want it to get sad ):

Definitely repot, these plants are prone to root rot. I’d put it in a nursery pot and then put that in the cache pot. Also alocasia like a chunky soil mix with lots of bark and perlite.

Give it drainage holes for sure. Even with holes, my alocasia got bad roots. The whole plant died. I kept it around and finally new growth is coming up.
