off to a great start this year. These were tiny when I put them in this pot with no drainage holes. Now one of them is large enough to flower!

Looks like they are growing well, nice! And I suppose since it is a no drainage pot that you pay more attention with watering and try to keep them out of the rain

Nope! They get rained on like anything else... and flooded! Sometimes I'll tip the pot to get rid of the top water. But usually I let nature take it's course

They get flooded in nature as well and do just fine, so I don't see why they would respond differently in a pot. Also, looks like the media is composed mostly of silica sand, so maybe an occasional flooding is a good thing
