Move up to a landscape container this size if you can .
They are not pretty but they work.
Click on the photo to see other sizes that might better suite you.

I think these are 18 gal landscape containers.

Big box stores sells similar "totes with handles" in assorted colors, while not as robust they are inexpensive and colorful.

You will also lose most of your bottom leaves so you may trim them off.....not a bad thing it just happens when you repot sometimes.

Once in the larger container with fresh new soil and light fertilizer expect the plant to grow 3x its size
