Except for a few species, plant roots don't prefer to dwell in water for long periods of time. Because too much water shuts up the air gaps in the soil, they must exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the surrounding air. Plants are more prone to become overwatered if there are no drainage holes. The appropriate amount of water should be sufficient for your plant even if your container lacks a drainage hole.

Root rot is a significant issue with plant pots without drainage holes. The majority of plants, particularly those grown inside, dislike having their roots and soil regularly soaked. A surplus of water disrupts nutrition exchange and prevents oxygen from reaching the roots. Root rot, a condition in which the roots are harmed and unable to function correctly, can develop over time as a result of this much water. You could have root rot if you see wilting, leaf drop, and yellowing foliage.

That's why the greatest choice for direct planting is a planter with drainage holes since it preserves your plant as healthy as possible. If you want to use a plant pot without holes, be careful to manually drain away any extra water or set it inside of a smaller pot with holes so that the water at the bottom may be drained.
