Do you have successful potted plants that donāt have drainage holes? Share in the comments!! No plant parent would recommend it, but sometimes it happens & (Jeff Goldblum voice) life uhā¦ finds a way!

Mikelās Plant PosseJohnās pot that he came in is pretty cool, right!? But, absolutely 0 drainage! Due to this, and some neglect, he has steadily gone downhill for the last few yearsā¦it was recommended to me, by one of these awesome Planta people, to put him in a simple pot a bit smaller than the owl and put him in that and add a good layer of pebbles at the bottom of this pot and put him and the smaller pot (with great drainage) above that rock layer!

I bought a pre-made terrarium a while back for the hoya in it. It also has a large type of moss and a small fittonia. So far so good; I removed some dropped leaves today and nothing is declining. I do think I'll redo it at some point. It gets almost zero maintenance; I haven't needed to water it at all and I only give it fresh air once every few weeks

ChristinaDr Malcolm knows. Yup i have several. You just have to be smart about it. Dont over water, use chunky soil that allows air in. Give it a good skewer a day after watering to help keep that soil from compacting too much and helps it breath. I tend to do mostly cactus and succulents in those options but have had many kinds over the years.

OJI was gifted a corn plant twelve years ago, not knowing what i was doing it went into a pot without drainage. Itās doing okay. I repotted it a couple years ago, still not knowing what i was doing, into general potting soil without trimming the roots. Itās still alive. I water maybe every four weeks, never fertilized, and just trim the top and pluck dead leaves. It will occasionally get ground mold if i over water.

I think one of my pothos is in a pot without drainage. I noticed yesterday it might now! Itās one of those that I think youāre supposed to twist it to get water to come out the sides. I donāt know if Iāve ever done that!

The plantar is a thick wedge 8 inches deep there is about 4 inches of soil. I do feed it periodically. Someday, Iāll replace the soil. The pic is, of course, not a plant, but a Rose Breasted Grosbeak (female)
