Is it ceramic?

I think so

However you choose to do it, do it very very carefully and slowly. I’d honestly recommend not using this as a drained pot if you want to make sure it stays intact. Ceramic pieces break very easily so trying to put holes in it is going to be tricky because you’re putting enough pressure to make a hole, but trying to not put enough to make it break, and that’s a thin line. I’m trying to think of ways you could do it but every way I’m thinking of would just be too risky, but maybe someone here will have an idea that would work 🥹🫂

I there another way you suggest to put drainage in it

### Kades님이 2024-09-20에 댓글을 남겼어요.

It depends on if the pot is glazed or not. If it’s glazed you can use a tile drill bit. Masonry bit for unglazed

You’ll really want to start slow and gently so you don’t crack the pot. You could try wet drilling or adding masking tape over where you’re going to drill

I believe it has glaze on it because it’s shiny in the inside so I think the mat look on the outside is just an over coat is that still okay

And it is pretty small

What kind of plant are you putting in it?

### 盛开님이 2024-09-20에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I was planning on putting my Dieffenbachia  
Maculata in it

#### Kades님이 2024-09-20에 답변했습니다.

I might try to find something a bit bigger for the diffenbachia. They grow pretty quickly. Depending on how small the pot is it could be alright for a succulent as long as you are really vigilant about checking the soil before watering.

You got really lucky. For the future, use a diamond drill bit. Start super slow at a 45 degree angle and use water to keep it from getting too hot. It’s slow, but it the correct way to do it.
