Drainage for a planter

heldel00 · 2017-11-11 18:18:25

If I'm "planting" an artificial tree and my metal planter doesn't have holes for drainage should i get a few holes drilled in bottom? Or if i fill it with sand will that absorb the bit of rain that it will get? It will be slightly sheltered

Probably a good idea to have a couple of holes and a few large pebbles in the bottom, I have to admit I wouldn't have thought of it!
