# I’m a first time plant mom and I need help! I didn’t know that plants…

_Deslashaaa님이 2025-06-24에 게시함_

I’m a first time plant mom and I need help! I didn’t know that plants needed drainage holes.. I know, I’m awful. I have 2 plants with no drainage holes and the soil is moist. Should I repot them into a different pot? I’ve bought some new pots for them. I need tips, I’m afraid they are going to get root rot or fungus gnats. Please help!! They are both in this picture.

If you’re new to plants I definitely encourage you to repot into pots with drainage. Just get some cheap plastic insert/nursery pots that will fit in your decorative pots, that way they still look cute :)

Also make sure they’re the right size. You want 1-2” larger than the root ball. If you go too big, even with drainage, the soil will stay moist too long and you can still risk root rot.

Thank you! I will repot them when I get home.

If you’re going to repot as soon as you get home, you’re already a great plant mom. It takes me a couple of days to talk myself into repotting, hoping the soil is somehow going to miraculously dry out, it doesn’t You got😉

Listen I want to try to keep as many plants alive as possible 😂. As soon as I see a yellow leaf I freak out like what have I done wrong??!

Well I still get nervous and for me it’s usually overwatering. Good luck.

Ya I’m bad at overwatering myself. I have repot one because I overwatered her sadly.
