Bear pot saga ends for lifesaver cactus
The Bear Pot/Lifesaver Cactus saga is finally over! My dad was able to drill a drainage hole into the bottom of the bear pot yesterday. The hole isn't perfectly centered. He tried, but it was sooooo difficult to get the hole started that it got off center haha. I'm not sure what kind of tough clay this thing is made out of 😹 Either way, I'm just thankful there's drainage now!
When I dumped out the old soil, I noticed they had put a bunch of pebbles at the bottom of the pot. I'm so glad I didn't water this poor thing. He was due for a watering yesterday so that's when we made the hole, repotted in fresh succulent soil, and watered with SuperThrive-infused water to prevent shock. He's already looking perkier! ☺️

@RealSimpleMama @Sassylimey I know! I was so nervous about it breaking. I'm so glad it didn't! And yeah, I was surprised but also not surprised to see those pebbles at the bottom. Waiting to water definitely saved this plant lol. Thank you ladies!
