Acid soil is a must.
The easiest thing to do is go to a garden center and buy a bag of acid soil. Sometimes the bags are marked "Azalea Camellia Mix". A bag of Peat Moss will also do, but it does take some effort to "wet" the peat to make it usable.
Next add lots of punice or perlite to either of these soils in your pot. This will help with drainage and allow you to keep the pot outside in the rain.
The plant will probably not ever get to the point where you'll have to think about putting it in the ground. Just keep planting it in larger and larger pots as it grows bigger.
