So I purchased some plants recently...
I'm told an indicator of sufficient water is when the water starts dripping from the bottom.
Under my spider plant basket, it is very evident that there are 4 holes for water to drain. However, in the other baskets, such as philodendron, there are no holes.
I asked the guy that sold it to me and he said there is indeed some kind of drainage system in the other basket, and if i water it, I will see the water come down to the bottom.
The thing is, I've had this type of hanging basket before. It is the standard plastic basket that you get when you a buy a houseplant. I never remembered watering a plant in this type of basket, and seeing the water come down. I also get the feeling he was just saying anything so I can buy it.
My question is, is there a drainage system in this basket? Or do I need to punch some holes in the bottom and create one.
I would just water it and find out but I'm afraid if there is not some sort of drainage system then the plant could get root rot?
