Have grown rhubarb in a large pot with lots of manure and blood and bone added. Water pretty much everyday in the hot weather as it likes a bit of moisture. Added fine coir to my soil in the pot for water retention. Pretty much can stay in the pot for a year but this depends on big your plant is. I pull the large stalks for cooking which encourages the plant to put out more. Best of luck.
