You know I never thought about it but I had a Tri-color Episcias. It grew so big it was in a 12 inch hanging pot for almost two years. It had a drainage I could have opened but never did.
Now you can not killEpiscias :)) It died. It was heavy and hanging and while waiting for my husband to take it down in his busy days ( took for ever lol maybe 3-4 weeks) every once in a wahile I'd put a little water in it . Why ? I don't know everything was dead gone. Before I knew it there was the cutest tiny baby ! WOW ! I took it out of the pot while it was still small as the pot was so big. It was about 1 1/2 inches. That baby grew onces again in no time into a hugh plant and many extra's and I mean many to give away and share !
This was not the last time this happened to me. Don't ever throw them away :))
But I never did think about a pot with no drainage then I was thinking one of my most favorite plants Albosia Cygnet is in a 12 inch pot no dranige beautiful plant so full and always blooming. I have a Begonia which has been in a 12 " pot for a few years no drainage doing great. I did not do it on purpose just the plants got so big !
