Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out the best potting method for my plants, which include some peperomias and bromeliads. I've learned quite a bit over the past year, but I'm still trying to make the right choices. I'm planning to repot them into better-draining soil since they haven't been thriving lately. I'm torn between using a cachepot system, where I place nursery pots inside decorative pots (which match my decor), or going with terracotta pots, which I've heard are fantastic for drainage but don't really fit my aesthetic. The decorative pots are beautiful but lack drainage, and I really need new nursery pots. Ultimately, plant health is my priority, but I'm not sure which option would be better for both the plants and my space. Any advice?

I use a nursery pot inside a decorative one for all my plants, and they’re thriving! I have around 30 different plants and it works perfectly. The key is that you're not planting directly in the decorative pots, so they don't need drainage—just ensure the nursery pots have it, and you’re good to go!
Thanks for the tip! Do you ever encounter issues with water collecting at the bottom of the pots?
