Is Anthurium suitable for deep pot or shallow pot?

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for Anthurium?

Anthurium is more suitable for planting in shallow pots because it is an epiphytic plant with relatively shallow roots. It is more suitable for maintenance in well-drained places. If the pot is too deep, watering will be difficult to control.

In terms of flower pot material, anthurium can be planted in ceramic pots, clay pots, or plastic pots. If you are choosing a flower pot based on air permeability and cost-effectiveness, it is best to choose a clay pot.
