giw many drainage holes #349515

Asked August 03, 2016, 8:33 AM EDT

I have a plastic whiskey pot that already has one drainage hole... How many more should I drill for proper drainage? Also I already have one plant transferred in a plastic pot that only has one drainage hole, should I add more?

Expert Response

There is no fixed recommendation about the number of holes to put in the bottom of pots, but if it is convenient for you to do, I would go for about 5 holes--one center and the others out toward the rim in each quadrant.
