    I've drilled a lot of my pots and had fun doing it. Not one broke. I was really thankful it all went great. I loved that large pot you did.

    I’ve drilled holes in all of my terracotta /ceramic/glass planters too but I use the circle diamond drill bits and I also run the water hose slowly while I’m doing it to avoid breakage from the heat while drilling. Works 100%. Never have had a crack or breakage. ALWAYS wear safety glasses.

    Hey Devin, thank you for teaching us what kind of drill bits to use. My only concern is that you need to wear a pair of safety glasses when you use a drill.

      Probably a good idea!

    This was very informative. However I have drilled probably 50 or more terracotta and ceramic pots but I used the diamond tip circle bits, two different sizes. I never had any break but it can be challenging as you need to start at a 45 degree angle and then slowly at a 90 degree angle. The ceramic ones are tough as they are slippery but I don't let that stop me. I found it on another UA-cam video, but I think yours would have been easier. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Hi Devin, I had a few pot that needed drain hole. Some were glaze and some unglazed . I bought a 5 piece diamond hole saw drill bit set off from Amazon .
    Needed to add a little water where my husband was drilling the hole because it was getting a little warm . Worked great! I have passed up so many pretty pots because they didn't have any drain hole. Not any more 😊.

    Wow..this is epic! Thank you! Funny, I was just lamenting the fact that the cool pots Ive been finding lately have no drainage holes. Now NOTHING will stop me! Mwahahahhaaa *cough* *cough*.
    Great idea for a video! Thanks again 😁

    All types of pots you can use a ceramic/glass bit. Don't press too hard but be firm. Best if you can drill a little from both sides, (sometimes you can't), and switch sides as soon as you have a hole showing. You can get perfect circular holes in any pot. I do it all the time, even done multiple holes in larger pots.

    Ok so I found these. I’m thinking they’ll work for the glazed ceramic & also pottery. If it can cut glass & brick, should work for both?

    Can you make a video about Norfolk Pines? I need help. Mine is slowly dying. The fronds are drying up from the trunk to the ends and falling off. I've seen some videos on how to start them from cuttings but it would take forever to get it to the 5 foot size I have now and I haven't had much luck.Thanks

    • @plantvibrations
      @plantvibrations  Місяць тому +1

      Yes starting a new one from cuttings wouldn’t be worth it!

    Yes, it always seems the one pot you find that is perfect has no drainage. Of course, my biggest peeve is when you find that perfect expensive glazed pot with drainage there is never a matching saucer to be found.

    You almost broke that first pot during the initial drill. You slammed the drill into the pot.
