Question
From which material is a pot considered perforated even if there is no hole, and from which materials is it considered non-perforated if there is no hole?
Answer
For a pot to be considered non-perforated, it must be made of metal, glass, or hard plastic and have no holes at all. However, if the plant is annual, or it is perennial but soft like a vegetable, even if the pot is made of clay or wood, it is considered non-perforated.
