I picked up a few new babies today!!  
Also a pot I fell in love with but does not have a drainage hole, any suggestions? I’m afraid to drill one because I don’t want to crack it!  
I’d like to use it for the String of Turtles, but I can also find a non draining friendly plant 😏

You can buy a diamond tip for a drill specifically for drilling holes. I was wary at first but it’s very easy!

We have some and that’s what I was thinking of trying! Thank you!!!  
So many cute ones out there without holes

I know there’s people on here who will hate this suggestion… but I’ve had plants do okay in pots with no holes. I make sure not to put in too much water for the size of the pot when I do water. It’ll take your own trial and error, but I estimate about a 1/4th of a cup of water for a 4” pot. And since string of turtles are succulent-like, I’d let it dry out completely before watering again

Oh, alternatively you can use it as a cache pot with a nursery pot inside

I was reading quite a bit about that option too, thanks for the positivity in trying it!

Use it as a cover pot. And those plants are gorgeous.

What gorgeous turtles you got!!! 😍😍😍 I second using it as a decorative outer pot. My turts like to dry out between watering and I hear are kinda picky so def need drainage for them.
