# Hi all! My plant here has one or two roots growing out of the…

_Geplaatst door Carrie op 2025-08-20_

Hi all! My plant here has one or two roots growing out of the drainage holes on the bottom. I do use the gray pot as a “tray” to catch water since it fits the other pot perfectly, but also as decoration, so it gathers some water in it after I water her. I was wondering if the roots were just trying really hard to get to the water or if it’s time to repot her? If so, could I drill holes into this pot and have her live in there? Also it’s only outside so I can water and drain it there

I would see what the root ball looks like, it is likely time to repot

Also that pot is a great size to size up to

Thank you! Should I drill drainage holes in the pot?

I would if it doesn’t have any
