Kirk,
You will find that Robustas grow so quickly, you'll be re-potting it into a larger container
on a regular basis due to it becoming root bound.
If you have vaulted ceilings in your home it will be easier, but even with that you are limited because they can grow up to 100ft. It can be controlled by trimming the roots after it reaches the max size you want and then re-potting, but its best suited in ground after reaching 5gal sized.
Hope this was helpful.
Randall
