I just got there clear nursery pots from Amazon so I can see the moisture in the plant but they only have one big hole at the bottom for drainage is this fine or should I poke more holes

That’s fine, shouldn’t be a problem unless you notice water pooling in the bottom for some reason. You can buy small round drainage hole screens to cover the hole so soil doesn’t fall out if that becomes a problem.

These are a thing?😱 I’ve been bottom watering some of my plants and I have recently had this problem with my one jade that has 4 plants in one pot lol

Yeah they’re more common in the bonsai world. Very useful!

I would definitely add more holes. Improper water retention will kill your plants by introducing root rot. Many plants could potentially handle just one drain hole, but many more will not do well with that.
