I’ve been a houseplant hobbyist for a little over 2 years now but recently got into wanting to incorporate pots as my decor. My latest theme was using all clear and glass pots and vases, id get those clear plastic soup containers from the deli at the grocery store and melt holes all over them for drainage holes but most of my plants in those have since needed something larger. since all of my indoor plants must stay huddled in my small bedroom, I’ve decided to go with a few styles of pots and cluster them together according to area of the room..for example all white pots, all gray/concrete pots/metallic/gold/bronze style pots/ nursery pots in wicker baskets or rope>black pots/terra cotta etc. ok also have some funky random ones, and the thing I’m hung up most on is the size these pots allow. I actually planted a heart leaf Philo cordatum in the fatter urn over a year ago but it was short lived probably because of the lack of drainage. I do have a strong of hearts I’m propagating that I thought would look great in the fatter urn and could.fit in the plastic pot just fine. the thinner urn is harder to fill because it is harder to find a little plastic pot for it but I was able to fit a tiny nursery pot finally but I use those for.mini cacti and have no idea what I could fit in that that’s a houseplant! Or i may not use any inner pot or make a cone shaped one using of weed barrier gardening fabric. For the bigger pot im going to put a drainage hole in it and plant my tradescantia cuttings in it. Although because they seem to only do well in water, I may forgo planting them in soil so I wouldn’t be adding a drainage hole and plant them in leca instead.

I drill holes in them. There’s usually a divet right where you can start one, but of course research the appropriate safety and tools for the material you’re working with so you don’t crack something by accident if you do decide to try it.

That would be perfect for my African Violets with wicks or trailing String of Pearls, Burros tail, SoH ….best to use insert pots for easy access.
