Hi Alan and welcome to GoY, you need to tell us which plant you are referring to.

Ah, exam question. I think the answer's 'Yes', any plant can grow in a tub, IF the tub's big enough. Phil

Does not feel like an exam question as its a new member not a guest?
Welcome to Goy from me to Alan like Moongrower we need to know which plant? If you look you can update your question.
