You scored a lovely giant white bird of paradise. If it were mine & I was going to keep it in a pot, I'd repot it into a larger pot right now, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Especially if you're not very concerned about it flowering.

Here are mine - still a little raggedy from the winter. I planted then 3 years ago for privacy. The were about 3' tall when I planed them. I had 3 very full pots, so I divided each of them in half. They were very, very slow growing that first year, but really took off after that. The fence behind them is 6' tall. The tallest one must be 10'. They've grown very nicely, and have even put out a few small pups. But no sign of a flower!
