I recently repotted my rubber plant, and now it doesn't do any drainage after watering it even though it has a drainage hole.

The previous pot had great drainage, but since the plant was growing, I moved it to a larger pot. I also added cocopeat to the soil. Do you think the soil is too dense, or should I change the pot?

Silly question but does the pot definitely have a drainage hole in the bottom and is it blocked by anything? Usually the new pots come with a little stopper in the hole, I’m guilty of forgetting to take it out once :)
Hello! I agree with @WelsomeRhodotus about double checking that you took the little plug out of the drainage hole, totally easy to forget!

If that’s not the case, is this a pot where the tray is attached? I also wonder if the soil is too dense, so it may require a bit more water than normal to fully saturate the soil!
