I don't know anything about these so I don't know if you can put it in a container, but if you do put it in a container it's not a good idea to put stones in the bottom of the pot--check out this thread from the container gardening forum for an explanation.

Assuming you want to plant it in that crock; is there a drainage hole in it?

No drain That is why I was asking about stones or pottery in the Bottom of the crock I do that with alot of my house plant

If you want to use a container like that and not drill a drain hole, the way to do it is plant the plant in a boring pot with a drainage hole that will fit inside the pretty pot, then you can set it in the pretty pot, take it out to water it, then put it back in, etc. If you're growing your houseplants in pots without drainage holes and haven't killed them yet by overwatering then you're a much better (or luckier?) gardener than most of us!

This one is over 3 years in pot no holes so I think it will work

Some EE's do unusually well in water gardens.
