@Miguel Martinez, Most welcome :-)

@Anna Yanez, You're welcome and thank you for watching :-)

@Anupam S, Most welcome n thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it :-) Agree with you, Flame method takes time but with small scredriver can be done bit faster, just need to move it a bit in a circular way to make the holes. Also, pointed end of a steel knife would work as well. I do use the kitchen knife as well but my wife get angry if I make her kitchen knife dirty...LOL..So, better to use the screwdriver :D

@@GardeningUpbeat Haha...her anger is understandable. Better get a separate knife for making holes :D

@Anupam S, LOL...definitely :-)

@goyangi Flower엉뚱한고양이, thank you very much :-)

@Chinnarao Boyapati, Yeah, very easy :-) Thank you for watching :-)

@Senu's Diary, thank you very much :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat 👍

yea

After drilling the holes, try adding some of the small, flat, decorative pebbles to the bottom of the pot (sold in Walmart, garden and hobby stores, etc.) taking care to no cover-up the holes. This works for me. It will keep the soil from washing out. I've also used, other small rocks, broken pieces of pottery and such, to slow the wash-out problem.

Empty paint cans - the third would definitely work. Good luck :-)

@craftpopups, Thank you, I bought them from local garden store. I believe, you would get similar pots online too...Size are from 4 inch - 6 inch. Thank you :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat thanku so much for replying

3 years ago and no reply..!?! that's not good.

@suraj yadav, Thank you and please watch this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1qKHFQzH-9s.html

@CPW1020A, Please no worry about asking any questions :-) And Yeah, definitely we can do that :-) But, please be careful while using drill machine! I have done the same for one of my Anthurium plant as leaves were turning yellow and here is the video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6tcLNvEFZbE.html

Maybe just be careful and go slowly so you don't damage the roots too much. Good luck!

@SAVITA RANI, Please try either 2nd or 3rd method...3rd is so easy and anyone can do it :-) Need to be bit careful though..thank you :-)

3-4 is more than enough and if you like, you can also do 6..I usually do more that way, there is very less chance of soggy soil and roots also get enough oxygen.

Pls explain more

yes. please explain more.

@@skbaba234 I don’t really understand the physics behind it, but when I was making some planters using those storage buckets I found that if I pushed the button that reverses the direction the drill spins it makes a cleaner cut in plastic. I’ll make a video maybe to explain if it would be beneficial. I am out of town for two weeks, but let me know and I’d be happy to make a little video showing. Several people all had the same issue - the drill was tearing the plastic and would slip around the plastic. Reversing the direction eliminated all of that for the most part leaving a clean and fairly smooth hole behind. You can get a variety of drill attachments that will cut out a variety of sized holes. There are some that just look like a drill bit with a wide bit at the end but there are also some that are shaped like the hole you’re wanting to make and also come in a variety of sizes. The bit is fine for smaller holes, but the bigger holes do better with the ones that are circular and the size you’re needing, especially for hydroponics.

@@katherine9109 I honestly had to rewatch the video to remember why I said something, but now I remember. Also, if you’ll notice at the beginning of the video how the holes have a bunch of burrs in it and it isn’t a clean cut really? Reversing the direction of the drill will make a much cleaner hole as well as reducing slippage, which honestly can kind of be risky for injury. Your drill should have a little button or slide switch to change the direction it spins.

It should be Gomphrena if I am not wrong - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4dH8RJVtoY8.html Sorry, Old video and don't remember exactly which plants I covered in this video. But still, I am 99% confident that it was Gomphrena. Thank you!

@@GardeningUpbeat thank u ❤️

Time to go back to primitive world then I think..

Sorry to know that :-(

@@GardeningUpbeat I tried your second method and it worked great.

No but plants do. They don't like to drown and rot. Usually lol...

But all humans do

@Mariya Yasmin, Maine to apka samne drainage hole banake dikhaya, to useless kaise hua? Sayed, apko thikse samaj nehi aya, thokne se pehle dekhiye pot me mark hai ki nehi...agar nehi hai to, mat thokiye, pot tut jayega..

please don't be so cranky. did you try the heated metal method..? works with a nail and a candle, too. and a pot holder or something to protect the hand holding the metal!!!

@argumentativeindian, Most welcome and thank you for watching :-)
