Received large healthy specimens that are properly planted - slightly mounded for proper drainage and top dressed with coarse gravel. The problem is there are NO drainage hole in the planters. Cactus will rot if they sit in water. Upon digging under gravel I found each is inside a plastic pot inserted into the ceramic ones. It will make a huge mess to pry them out but at least they can be watered. Too bad because the decorative pots look great with the cactus.
