I have a couple of cute pots I’d like to use but I have a spider plant that is not doing well in a pot without good drainage. Can I replant in a cup with will fit inside? ## 11件のコメント ### Jessikaさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました Drill holes in the pots, that’s what I do. #### Brendanさんが2024-08-27に返信しました Seconded for drilling holes in the pots. Recommend a masonry bit for ceramic pots, it’ll drill more easily and will be less likely to break the pot. Other option would be to use a cheap plastic/nursery pot with drainage, and place that inside of the nicer decorative pot. Then just remove the plant from the decorative pot when watering. ### Arloさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました You can plant in a nursery pot that will fit inside the cache pot! ### Sarahさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました I do plastic nursery pots inside of cachepots as my default. It’s so much easier to assess how dry or wet soil is when I can feel the weight. I also find the plastic liner pots to be more breathable than ceramic. You can drill holes, but risk breaking the pot if you do. You also then have to figure out a waterproof barrier between the drilled pot and the shelf it’s on. Spider plants and anything with long vines need the weight of a cachepot to stay upright. ### eatyacarbsさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました I second the advice to use your cute pots without drainage as cover pots for plants in nursery pots ### Green Witchさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました I’ve used pots with no drainage and filled the bottom with some rocks and then did a plant cloth that helped with drainage #### Gailさんが2024-08-27に返信しました I will look into that #### Sarahさんが2024-08-28に返信しました Some people do this successfully, but it’s definitely a harder challenge to balance. And it means nothing ever gets flushed away from the soil. Personally I find it way easier to pot into plastic nursery pots and then pull plant out of cachepot, put in a plastic drip tray, add water to just the tray or water plant from the top (depends on the plant and soil quality), let it soak a minute or two if needed, return plant to cachepot and toss the excess water. ### JDWさんが2024-08-27にコメントしました I drill all of my pots using a dremel bit and I keep water on it while I’m doing so. 🥰 I also use pots inside of the fancy’s like everyone else is saying lol just depends on if I feel like dremeling or not! #### John G Ameroさんが2024-08-30に返信しました Hi there, What bit do you use to do the drilling? I too have used my Dremel to put a hole in this pot. It had no hole at all. I can’t seem to make the hole bigger without the thought of breaking this dumb purchase of mine. 😜 ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6gxEM_j_mJgdysj-2z4vmXECXcvvzQ8T9LpBISEIrd4/RlNfkMBkQ5i9dz4ftvagOw.webp?size=large) #### JDWさんが2024-08-30に返信しました I use the tiny diamond bit it came with! The water on the pots helped me be able to grind the edges a bit further out. That hole looks nice!! lol --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
