Hello! I’m just curious. Is there any kind of plant that doesn’t need a drainage hole in its pot. I have a super cute pot that came with one of my plants but there’s no drainage holes. Thanks!

Hey! So I have a Zebra Aloe and a Star cactus that are thriving in pots with no drainage holes, I just make sure to stack them like a tiny terrarium (horticultural charcoal first, tiny layer of spagnum moss, a few pebble-like rocks and then some good succulent soil, got mine online from Bonsai Jack’s)

unsure of the answer to your question but you can always buy a nursery pot to place inside and once your plant finishes draining, pop it in the pot!

This is what I do with all my plants. 😊

Agreed! Best of both worlds

I either do a plastic pot inside or drill my own hole!
