Bought this huge sarracenia from a local nursery a few days ago. Its rhizome is huge and causing the current pot to bulge, so time to upsize it. Rummaged through my pots, and these two looked like the best options, though I can't settle on a specific one.
My initial pick was the plastic pot, primarily because the general consensus is that plastic pots are king, but I gravitate to the ceramic pot too, first because it's prettier to look at, and additionally because it has more room for horizontal growth. The potential for mineral leaching crossed my mind, but if it's outdoors 24/7 where it'll be rained on, I presume it wouldn't affect it. But, again… I'd rather check in with the pros first.
So, thoughts?

Again with the antigravity pitchers
I’d plant it in the plastic pot then put that in the ceramic pot for aesthetics. It can be very hard to get overgrown plants out of pots like that with the opening smaller than the rest of the pot. Usually have to break them or do lots of damage to the plant.
