Iām a first time plant mom and I need help! I didnāt know that plants needed drainage holes.. I know, Iām awful. I have 2 plants with no drainage holes and the soil is moist. Should I repot them into a different pot? Iāve bought some new pots for them. I need tips, Iām afraid they are going to get root rot or fungus gnats. Please help!! They are both in this picture.
If youāre 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 theyāre the right size. You want 1-2ā 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.

If youāre going to repot as soon as you get home, youāre 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 doesnāt You gotš
