Pretty much any plastic pot would be good for them!

As long as it has drainage

A: these plastic boxes form a greenhouse effect on the windowsill. B. they are outdoor plants C. They go dormant during winter. ..... probably one or all of the above.

They aren’t exclusively outdoor plants you can keep them indoors just have to find a way for dormancy

They almost 90% always do better outdoors. Case in point the plethora of posts about help me with my VFT 😆 🤣 I wish that when places sold them they had more indepth care info
