Regarding Arum and similar aroids (Helicodiceros, Biarum, Dracunculus,
etc.), I have found these plants to be consistently unhappy in pots. Plants
of Arum and Helicodiceros that remained small and undeveloped for years--
though they had plenty of soil volume and were treated as well as any other
bulbs-- grew dramatically larger when planted in the ground in semi-shade.
In a few years, a potted "runt" of H. muscivorus became a nice flowering
clump.

Some plants simply do not flourish in containers, for whatever reasons.
