As far as I know celery need a lot of water so I would assume being in a pot may make then tend to dry out more easily and therefore bolt!
Also as they are more of a Winter vege, they are not something I grow in Summer (same goes for rocket and corriander) as they are just too prone to bolting in the hot weather.
Just a guess :)

I won`t bother with celery again - have tried a couple of times. Mine was in before winter, then went to seed in the spring. had heaps of water, tubes around the plants to make them grow tall, plenty of manure - nah, much easier to just get it at the supermarket!

I've grown it in pots and it's much nicer than the supermarket stuff. But you have to make sure they have enough water. Lots of water!
