They do have drainage holes. Should I give fertilizer? I didn't think so since it's winter. I put it in the window to get more sun and away from the cat. lol I've been putting all my plants on the window sill to keep them away from the cat but ran out of room. I thought they'd be safe on the desk but I guess not. Guess I''ll have to start shutting the door again so he can't get in. Thanks for the help. Valerie
