Yes, succulents can definitely survive and even thrive in pots without holes. It depends on how you care for the plant and how much water you give it. If you want to keep your succulent in a pot without a hole, you need to make sure that the soil is not too dry or too wet.
If it is dry, the roots will not be able to grow properly and you will end up with a plant that looks like it has been in the sun for a long time. On the other hand, if you have a lot of water in your soil, then the root system will be very healthy and it will grow very fast.
So, it’s a good idea to give your plant a little bit of extra water every now and then, just to be on the safe side.

Do succulents need a hole at the bottom?
Succulents need their roots to dry out quickly. They don’t like sitting in water for more than a day or two and will rot if they stay wet for a long time. When you are first starting out, I highly recommend using pots with a drainage hole. Once your succulent is established, you will want to keep it in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain, then you may need to add a layer of mulch to the soil to help keep the roots from drying out too much. You can also add some compost to your soil if you have a compost pile in your yard, or you can use a soil-based fertilizer that is designed to be applied to soil.
I prefer to use Miracle-Gro’s Fertilizer, which is formulated for use on soil, but it can be used on plants as well. Just make sure to read the directions on the bottle before you start using it, as some of the ingredients may not be compatible with your particular plant.
Can you use ice cubes to water succulents?
Any plant won’t appreciate being watered with ice cubes. You should use room-temperature water so that they don’t get stressed. You will want to plant them in pots that promote good air circulation and proper water drainage. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, consider growing your succulents in a potting mix.
This will allow you to control the amount of light they receive, which will also help to prevent root rot. If you do decide to grow them indoors, be sure to provide them with plenty of room to spread out and spread their roots out as much as possible.
How often should indoor succulents be watered?
Watering your plants every day is the best way to keep them healthy and happy. However, if you have a lot of plants, you may need to water them more often than this.
If you are watering more than one or two plants at a time, it may be a good idea to add a little more water to the pot each time you water. This will help keep the plants from drying out too quickly.
How often should I water my succulents without drainage?
It’s best to water the succulent in pots once every two weeks or so. The roots will rot and become soggy if you water them too often. If you want to know if the soil is dry before watering your plants, you can use a moisture meter.
Do you water succulents from the top or bottom?
Water from above, until it comes out of the pot’s drainage hole is the standard watering technique for most plants. Run a slow and steady stream of room temperature water all over the top layer of potting soil by filling a watering can or cup.
If the soil is too dry, add a few drops of water at a time to keep it moist, but don’t let it dry out completely. When the water runs out, rinse the plant thoroughly with water from a spray bottle or a garden hose.
This will remove any excess water that may have accumulated on the leaves, stems, roots, or any other part of your succulent.
You can also use a small amount of distilled water to rinse your plant, just make sure it’s not too hot or too cold, as too much water can cause your plants to over-water, which can lead to root rot and other problems.
How can I water my plants without drainage holes?
If you don’t have a drainage hole in the bottom of your pot, you can use a garden hose to fill the hole with water. If you do have drainage holes, make sure they’re large enough so that the water doesn’t run off into your garden.
How long can a succulent go without water?
They can go up to 1-3 months of no watering. Wind and sunlight tend to dry out the soil quicker than it does indoors, so indoor Succulent will have less exposure to the elements outdoors. In cooler climates, the soil stays moist for a longer period of time. If you are unsure whether or not your plant will be ready for transplanting, please contact your local nursery or garden center for more information.
