Flower Shop Docklands suggest that if you're worried about drainage, simply use a pot with drainage holes in the bottom and ensure to water your plants only when the soil is dry. This will help prevent root rot and waterlogging problems, and your plants will be just as healthy as if grown in gravel. It's a common gardening myth that you should always change your flower pot materials yearly. This is not true! Your flower pot material can last for many years as long as you take care of it properly.
