Should I put rocks in the bottom of my pots for drainage?

No, it is not necessary to put rocks or gravel in the bottom of your pot as long as your container has a drainage hole. Studies have shown that adding gravel to a container actually slows the drainage of water. Water moves well through similar textures (soil) but slows when it hits a different texture (gravel). This causes the water to stay in the soil...the exact opposite of what we want it to do.
