Thanks for the info. What's the best way of removing them from the pot without damaging the plant?

Point taken. I read that they shouldn't get full sunlight straight after shipping to avoid shocking them, but it's been about 3 weeks now so I think they can take it at this point.

Ideally I'd love to have them in the ground in tropical weather, but that's a bit hard to come by in the NY metro area haha.

They're currently in 12" clay planters right now, what size should I move them to?
