While terracotta looks awesome as they age a plastic landscape container will be more efficient in your Florida environment.

If you plan to keep your plant in a container get one with handles so you may move it.
Repot the plant and refresh the soilless mix as it fills each container that it is grown in until the final container size is used. Do not overpot the plant...

You may skip all the potting and put inground in a well amended area.

Grow the plant just as you would your other banana plants, there is really nothing special about an aeae other than cool weather sensitivity.
