Whilst buying some prepared hyacinths in the garden center, I noticed
they had a guide to planting etc. When I looked at it, it stressed that
the pot you plant in MUST have drain holes!

I've obviously been doing things wrong for the last 50 years, and don't
intend to change, but what do others do?

I have no pots without drain holes. The only real problem with those
is ensuring that you never overwater - because, obviously, the water
will collect in the bottom and kill the roots (of anything except
water and waterside plants). If you avoid that, they work.
