I've been growing Ti's in containers for several years now. They are great container specimens and I've learned a few things about them.

They are an understory plant and while they do well in pots of about any kind as long as it has good drainage, they also do perfect in the ground. I don't know your zone, but I think they would be just fine.

Mine are continually getting ravaged by the strong winds, and too much evening sun, but they are troopers. I just trim off any damaged leaves and it makes the plants more prolific.

They will get frost damage if you live in a frost area, but again, they can be trimmed down and they will come again. It's amazing.

I have mine in large square plastic pots and I have English Ivy all around them trailing down the sides. No camera here, sorry. Crossing Fingers!
