Hey friends! My mom was gifted this lovely tea cup of succulents! The care card that came with it said to water them every 10-14 days, which is normally what I do for succulents. But, the teacup has no drainage and since it's a mix of succulents I wasn't sure how to go about watering them! What should I do?
Oh man it is so cute! But yes no drainage worries me. There are some who still don’t do drainage holes for some things like this, like popular plant influencer farmernick, and you just have to be very careful but in my opinion it’s not worth it. I wonder if you can find a more bendy soft plastic to place it in so it can be removed from the teacup for watering time to drain.

i would repot them all separately, by species, to meet their individual needs better. leaving them in the teacup with no drainage will most likely cause either kind of rot depending on your watering habits, which can easily kill your succulents. offer them tons of light, the brightest windowsill in your home, and don’t water until you’re sure the soil is completely dry. i like letsfindjoy’s suggestion of finding a nursery pot that will fit in the cup— you can repot them all together if you like so they have drainage and then replace in the cup after watering so they still look cute
