For plants that require good drainage in pots, such as Adeniums (Desert Roses), for example, there are little terracotta feet available to put under the pot. They are not cheap, but there are other choices.

I have used both pebbles and small pieces of sticks to get the same result: pot elevated off the ground so drainage is improved. There are pots with feet attached available as well.

Pebbles placed in a circle. I choose pebbles that are a little flat.
