    How do you avoid root rot? Shouldn’t you put some holes in the bottom of the pot so that the excess water can drain off?

    • @ministry2627

      Pots should come with holes at the bottom already.

    New plants in tiny nursery pots will dry up & die even if we water them in Spring or Autumn if we didn't repot them into bigger pots & with more suitable soil.
