# I was told to grow this in a shallow pot where the plant can continue…

I was told to grow this in a shallow pot where the plant can continue its counterclockwise growth. Well, that "pot" is completely out of control big (pictured), and so so does not fit. However, yep, it is headed - per those pups - for another counterclockwise trip around the Sun/a black plastic pot.
