Additional question re: container. My China Doll is about 19" tall. The container is a 4 gal. pickle crock. Is it large enough for this plant? This in addition to my previous question

Houseplants can live in containers for years as long as water and nutrition are managed. As crocks are not porous, paying attention to watering will be very important. While you may have drainage holes drilled, the soil can stay too wet while the soil is slowly drying out and cjould cause root rots. Be sure not to over water as you just have transplanted.
