I would say white plastic pots are better (black ones can get a bit too hot). Clay can leach minerals into the soil so it's generally not recommended unless you get one where the entire pot is glazed.

i recently repotted my vft and i noticed some of its older leaves going black. i'm thinking it experienced some stress in the process and i'm hoping it recovers quickly - w/c seems like it's doing.

i hope its new plastic pot home will be as good as its former paper cup like housing.

btw, at what age do they begin to produce flowers?

From seed, VFTs usually flower in 3-5 years from germination. From TC or cuttings, it’ll be less than that.
