I've read in several places, that succulents will not do well without proper draining, and that a pot with holes is mandatory.
I have a pot that's been set aside for a succulent garden for a while now, and after a recent trip to the NY Botanical Gardens, we now have the succulents for the planting... but once I started reading up, I realized our pot has no holes.
The pot is elongated, about 3" deep, 12"x4". It's glazed ceramic.
So the question is, with a 1"-1.5" drainage layer, and 1.5" of soil/sand mix on top, do you think it will get enough drainage? or will it be impossible to keep root from rotting in a small, undrained container?
