Hi Senea,
Thanks for contacting. Dandelion grows well in constricted places. It is taprooted and will do OK in a glazed pot. However in the desert such a system (plant in glazed pot) can get extraordinarily hot and so the plant should be placed in the shade, not the sun, and watered deeply and frequently in order to realize its full potential. A little dandelion leaf goes a long way. Happy gardening,
richo
