# Hi all! I am brand spankin new to all things plants so I truly have…

Hi all! I am brand spankin new to all things plants so I truly have zero idea what I’m doing but I’m determined to do my best with my new babies!

I got this fiddle from my local farmers market and it came in a pot without drainage holes, no nursery pot inside. Is this typical when buying a fiddle? Everything I’ve read has said drainage is a must for these so I was surprised they didn’t have any in it. Does it matter if I just drill holes into this pot or is it better to repot it? Since I don’t know when it was last watered and re-potted how long do you typically wait to do both of these when you purchase a new plant?

Also, she’s on my porch which is east facing. I have her in a corner where the light isn’t too direct and rotate every so often. Pretty much all fiddles I’ve seen people have inside, but I don’t really have a good spot by a window for her in my place. Is this okay? I live in San Diego so it’s really never too hot, humid or dry.

Thank you!

She looks great! I would either repot in pot with drainage or drill holes in that one ASAP. If you repot, try not to disrupt the root ball at all… just put it in another pot that exact same size. Water when the soil feels dry half way down- hopefully it has a good well-draining soil. 🙏🏼 Covered patio in San Diego facing east? Chef’s kiss! 👏🏼 I think she’ll do great - bright light is an absolutely necessity. ☀️
