What makes a good indoor planter?
Drainage Holes While some plants love moist environments, for succulents and cacti good drainage is a must. Always choose a pot with drainage holes and a tray to catch excess water to keep them looking their best. These pots can also come in handy if you’re new to houseplants and have a tendency to overwater. For pots without drainage holes, we recommend putting the plant in its nursery pot into the outer pot. When you water, take your plant’s nursery pot out and let all the excess water drain out before putting it back into its outer pot.Why drainage matters for indoor plants. Drainage refers to holes at the bottom of a planter that allow excess water to escape. These holes help prevent water from pooling at the base of the pot, which can suffocate roots and lead to rot.
