I really hope I am doing a good job at this  
My chili plant was dry n barely got around to them all  
Drainage in these ceramic pots and plastic big ones are sketchy to me should I make more holes? 🕳️ 🥹💚

You can never go wrong with more drainage holes in my opinion. Works for me

For my plans that seem to be sensitive to Water staying around too long, I use chopsticks to punch holes in the soil bad aerate it.

I put mine in clear nursery pots, even if there’s drainage in the plastic or terracotta pots, the only exception is my plants in self watering ones
