Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on how to create drainage for my plants in a pot that doesn't have any drainage holes. Do I need to use different types of soil depending on the type of plant I have? Or is there a way to create a soil mix that works well for different plants?

A solid trick is to just place a plastic nursery pot inside your decorative pot. When it’s time to water, you can take the nursery pot out and give it a soak in the sink. This way, your plant gets the drainage it needs without messing up the look of your main pot!
You can also use a ceramic or glass drill bit to make a drainage hole if you're up for a little DIY. Just be careful with cracking!
Forget the rocks or leca at the bottom; that just doesn’t work. Seriously, most gardeners just stick with the nursery pot method. It’s way easier to water and switch plants around.
Totally agree! I tried the rocks and it was a disaster.
That's really smart! I've been doing the same and it makes life so much easier.
