Could use your input. I recently lost my mom so I purchased a prayer plant in her honor. They told me to pot it in a shallower wider pot. Is this okay for it? Should I put it in a normal round pot?

My only worry is that does not have any support for the plant as it grows upwards. Something to consider for the future.

Also-I would add more dirt to your pot

Thank you! Do prayer plants grow upwards? I’ll put it in a smaller pot and make sure it has enough soil
