10-14 gal or less
Replant in containers with an awesome loose soilless mix.

For me overwintering in a smallish container ensures a less chance to overwater.
It also forces the roots to use the whole pot.....which is good.
Your plant will fill the container with roots and then next season move to a larger size container and repeat.

I have plants upstate......but not in pots.


Some of the other forum members will have some great ideas also.
