How to Plug Holes in Ceramic Pots

Ceramic pots are often beautifully decorated and lovely for many uses, both inside and outside of a home. One characteristic of ceramic pots that may present a challenge for some uses is the drainage holes that are typically present at the bottom of the pots. If you are attempting to use a ceramic pot for a purpose that does not use the drainage hole, plug the hole first and then seal it with a special sealing compound to prevent leaks.

1. Step 1

   Fit a small chunk of clay or a piece of cork to place into the hole in the ceramic pot. If you are using clay, push the clay into the hole and then mold the clay around the top of the hole to form a seal. If you are using cork, the cork must fit the hole tightly to be effective. It may be difficult to find a cork that is the right size to fit the hole.

2. Step 2

   Wearing the plastic gloves, open the tube of silicone adhesive. Squeeze a liberal amount of the adhesive over the clay or around the cork on the inside of the pot. Spread the silicone adhesive so that it seals around all of the edges. Keep the thickness of the silicone adhesive under ¼ inch.

3. Step 3

   Allow the silicone adhesive to dry completely before proceeding with your project. The silicone should be adequately dry within one hour and will cure completely within 24 hours. The amount of humidity in the air will affect the drying time.

How to Drill a Drain Hole in an Enclosed Ceramic Pot

Ceramic pots are popular vessels for potted plants because they are attractive and widely available. In addition, if the plant is watered regularly, the pot itself will retain moisture and stay relatively cool, providing the best conditions for the soil. Some potted plants do well in very damp environments and are not conducive to the growth of mold, so drain holes are unnecessary. Most plants, however, require sufficient drainage to grow properly and stay healthy for a longer period of time. It is possible to create a drain hole in a ceramic pot with a minimum of specialized tools.

Step 1

Mark the location of the drain hole with a pencil. It is helpful to mark both the center of the hole, as well as the desired diameter. The diameter of the hole depends upon the diameter of the bottom of the pot, to avoid breakage. The diameter of the drain hole should be about 1/8th the diameter of the pot’s bottom surface. For example, if the bottom of the pot measures 8 inches across, the drain hole should be about 1 inch across.
