# Pot for my polka dot? Just adopted this polka dot begonia (my first).…

Pot for my polka dot?  
Just adopted this polka dot begonia (my first). She’s in a 6” tall x 5” wide plastic “takeout” container and I’m trying to decide which type of pot to move her into.

Clay seems to be best, but I hear conflicting information on whether begonias should be in shallow pots. Should I keep her in something tall or shorter but wider? Is she a normal height for her type?
