Crazy4vines, since you will have to move them in and out yourself, you will want as light of a container as possible. I use lightweight polyurerthane containers, but plastic or clay will do nicely also. Any container with good drainage will work. You will be repotting to a container slightly bigger than the root ball so that the roots have about two or three inches of soil to grow into, and when that container becomes rootbound, you can repot again. I have a shoot now which shot up to about six feet tall, and it is starting to fill out. People use stakes or tomato cages or green plastic nursery tape to keep their epi's shoots supported. Here are two of my Epi hybrids below. The hybrids don't get the long shoots like the Epi oxy species do.
