We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.

No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?

    I think this is probably the way I’ll try before going to a drill.

    I didn’t think something like this would be effective. Do you put anything in around the plastic pot?

      I sometimes prop mine up on something, so the pot isn’t sitting in the drained water. But even if not, the exposure to air usually means it dries out pretty quick.

        Yeah, I’ve gone through all our plastic pots and found a few that fit inside these ones without touching the bottom, so it looks like they will work nicely.
