As most people know, owning and maintaining beautiful indoor plants requires just a few basic necessities. But beyond light and water, what many don’t realize is that there’s a third extremely important factor when it comes to plant care: drainage. Without proper drainage, no plant can thrive—especially if it’s receiving regular watering. For this reason, providing your plant proper drainage is crucial to your success. This article will look at three methods for repotting your plants. We'll provide detailed instructions and tips for each method to help you give your plants the best care possible.
Drainage allows for the plant’s roots to aerate and “breathe” in between waterings. Much like excess water is absorbed into the ground in their natural environment, you should always make sure your plant has somewhere to drain after each watering, as accumulated moisture or standing water can lead to serious health issues like root rot.
The most common way to provide drainage for potted plants is with a drainage hole in the pot and a saucer below to catch the water. A typical terracotta pot has this set up, for example. If your pot has a drainage hole, we recommend using a saucer or dish below so as not to damage any floor or surface when you water. But what happens if you have a pot with no drainage hole?
