I'm trying to get into gardening and bought some pots from IKEA. One is a typical pot with the dish at the bottom and the other one isn't. For the one that doesn't have the hole at the bottom and dish (I apologize, not sure if they have specific names), can I grow anything in it? If yes, what will work for that or will any plant do? Thanks!!

The whole is meant to allow water to pass through. The other will retain more water. I think you can grow plants in either, but the the type of plant is different. The plants have little tags on them that tell you how much water they need and what happens if they stay wet too long.

Thank you so much! I'll make sure to check for that!

Try a snake plant, they are super easy to care for. Just water once every few days or weekly when the soil feels dry, don’t soak it.

You don’t necessarily have to repot all plants so you could leave it in it’s original pot. You can repot it too but you have to be more careful when checking to see if it needs water

I’ve also heard of folks using 1-2 inches of chunks of styrofoam at the bottom of a pot without drainage to give the plant room to drain excess water (but rocks would also work well!)

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them.

Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.
