Irena said:i think i have enough space to trellis the plant,and i have a south facing window so i think light is enough too, the only problem is with pot ! if it's enough for plant roots ? i don't want to wait a long time for hops to grow and harvest only one time.
What do you mean exactly by large ? can you give me a diameter and height for example ? and can i cut the roots if they exceed the pot ?I think you could get by with a LARGE pot to put it in, but it will not likely grow as big and maybe die off in a few years. The roots are almost as eager to find new places to go as the bines.

Get an Earthbox and put it on your balcony. A South Facing balcony will work. Hops grow up to 20 ft. tall. I grew them in pots on my roof when I lived in an apt. I used 1/2 barrel sized plastic pots with a mix of 2:1 peat moss and mushroom compost. They did well but needed lots of water. The earthbox will solve that problem. There are lots of plans on line to make your own.
