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? Iām afraid to drill one because I donāt want to crack it! Iād like to use it for the String of Turtles, but I can also find a non draining friendly plant š
You can buy a diamond tip for a drill specifically for drilling holes. I was wary at first but itās very easy!

I know thereās people on here who will hate this suggestionā¦ but Iāve 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. Itāll take your own trial and error, but I estimate about a 1/4th of a cup of water for a 4ā pot. And since string of turtles are succulent-like, Iād let it dry out completely before watering again Oh, alternatively you can use it as a cache pot with a nursery pot inside

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

What gorgeous turtles you got!!! ššš 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.
