Default Potting indoor plants

I am curious as to what sort of pots you should have indoor plant in.
I think all indoor plant pots I've seen don't have any drainage holes
in them . Does that mean you should use plastic pots with drainage
holes and insert these inside the actual pots just so it looks nice or
do you put the plant directly into the nice pot without any drainage ?


Both :~))
Depends what plant type it is.
I tend to leave cacti and succulents in thier original pots so they can drain
into the container.
Other types of plants whiich do not mind perhaps being overwatered can go
straight into the decorative pot. You just have to be careful about marks on
carpets, floors etc.......

I would have thought you do need drainage but just wanted to get some
expert advice
