Draining containers without drainage holes
Go ahead and plant those lovely ceramic cache pots without drainage holes! Even if your container does not have the recommended drainage holes, you can easily tip the water out after a heavy rain with this tip.
Before filling the container with potting soil, cut a slender drainage pipe as long as the pot is tall. Cover the bottom end of the pipe with some nylon net. Insert the pipe down the side of the pot, then fill with soil and plants.If it gets too soggy, tip the pot sideways and the excess water will drain out through the pipe.
