Any pot that is porous should not be used for potting a Venus Fly Trap, such as an unglazed ceramic pot. Over time, unglazed ceramic pots will leech minerals into the soil and this can be potentially fatal to Venus Fly Traps. Also, unglazed ceramic pots are porous and therefore will absorb water and any minerals that are in the water, thus help holding these impurities in the soil instead of letting them be flushed out.

Simple plastic pots are cheap and make good homes for Venus Fly Traps. Make sure that the pot has holes in the bottom to allow the water to run out and prevent any mineral build up in the bottom of the pot.
