You do need to have drainage holes.  You also need to put a layer under the soil ... I recently read to keep the weight of the container down, instead of using rocks or clay shards, use packing peanuts.  Just be careful you don't use the new corn-starch based peanuts -- you can tell by dipping them in water.  If they disintegrate, they aren't Styrofoam.  
 
You will also want to fertilize more frequently, with a more dilute solution, since you will be  watering more frequently.  
 
Hope this answers some of your questions.
 
Patti
