FAQ About Choosing the Right Pots and Containers for Indoor Plants

Why is drainage important in plant pots?
Drainage is crucial for preventing waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot—a common issue for indoor plants. Drainage holes allow excess water to escape, providing your plant with a balanced moisture level. If a pot lacks adequate drainage, it can be improved by adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or using a pot insert. Always ensure that pots have drainage holes or use a well-draining soil mix to maintain plant health.
