You can also grow succulents in undrained cups, but you must change your maintenance methods to reduce the possibility of water accumulation. If possible, you can drill holes in the bottom of the cup to increase drainage capacity. You can also put a little medium with large particles on the bottom of the cup to form a water-proof layer to prevent moisture from reaching the roots. Daily watering should be less, only half of the normal amount of water, and the intervals should be increased, watering once every 1-2 weeks.

1. Manual drilling

If the cup has poor drainage, you can manually drill holes to increase its drainage capacity. However, not all cups can be drilled. Drilling holes in glass or porcelain cups can easily cause them to crack, causing them to be completely scrapped.

2. Cup base pad particles

If the drainage capacity of the flower pot itself is poor, you can put some medium with larger particles at the bottom, such as ceramsite, bricks, cinders, etc. This will allow the water to sink to the bottom without forming water accumulation at the roots, which could prevent the roots from flooding and causing them to rot.

3. Water less

If you can't open a "circle", you can only reduce expenditure. Reduce the amount of daily watering to only half the normal amount. This will prevent the roots from being submerged, and if there is water at the bottom, it will also keep the pot soil moist, which will also help its growth. The interval between watering should be longer, just water once every 1-2 weeks.
