First time here; I received a geranium for Mother’s Day. I would like to repot it and put it on my porch. Any suggestions for a solid type of pot that won’t work against me keeping the plant alive? TIA!

Will it be in full sun? If so, it will dry fast so avoid Terra Cotta. Plastic or ceramic will work best.  
Just going for keeping the soil slightly moist, not wet.  
Geraniums are not

Terribly picky, just remember to deadhead the spent flowers so it keeps blooming for you.
