I personally wouldnt. Reason being it's easy to over water a plant in winter when it is in a large pot. The smaller the pot the better the drainage and the quicker it dries. I had a very bad experience with reporting a plant shortly before bringing it in. Your still a while away so if up sized 1 pot you'd probably be OK but if you don't repot you'll definitely be OK.

Coarse sand my friends!
A lot of it mixed in the soil. Almost impossible to overwater.

Thankyou all for your replys, i would like to keep them in the smaller pots if i could being as they are coming into the conservatry for the winter and space is limited, but was not sure if it ok for them to become potbound, might just do a couple to see how they go and put most in the ground next year.
