For modern decorative plant pots without drainage holes the grow pot could be stood inside the pot on a saucer, or in a pot liner for extra protection.

Ensure the external height of your decorative pot is at least 2-3cm higher than the grow pot height of the hydroculture plant. It contains sterilised soil, coir, composted fine bark, wood fibre, as well as a carefully balanced range of nutrients to promote healthy growth for up to two months.

The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out.
