No drainage holes but rocks on the bottom

[Plantz]

So, I’m wondering how much I should water my indoor plants if they have no drainage holes but pebbles instead. Any ideas?

Hardly any. stick a finger down there and see.

So why do you do that? I have some ornamental pots like that, but I use them like saucers for plastic pots that fit in them.

I've read that adding a layer of gravel or rocks to the bottom of a pot may actually reduce drainage rather than promote it. Those pots without drainage holes are usually used for decoration because you can put smaller nursery pots in them and can still acess your plant for watering/repoting.

You could also have someone drill a hole at the bottom to use as a regular pot.
