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.
