Stone Planter Cemented To Balcony Wall Has Stopped Draining

Question

Just moved in to an apartment that has 2 large stone urns (planters) cemented to the wall. One is draining beautifully, the other just gets waterlogged and doesn’t drain at all. Any advice as to how to address this issue would be greatly welcomed

If you can find the drainage holes then you may want to try and push a stick or rod through them to clear them out. If you do not have access to the drainage holes, then you may need to remove all of the soil and start over.
