What is the current opinion on drainage options for replanting - adding rocks or similar to the bottom of the pot? Or is just potting soil okay?

IMO, depends on a few things. If I can’t find a grow pot that fits well in my cache pot, I do rocks in the bottom but u find I have to check my roots more frequently that they haven’t grown down into the rocks. Maybe put down a layer of screen? That said, I think best practice is still a grow pot with good drainage inside a decorative cache pot

Newbie here, but I do the same. And I agree.
