hi. i got 2 noid plumerias last month they are about 3 feet tall and have 3 long branchs. when i got them they had flowers planted in the pots so i took out the flowers. the plumes didn't seem to be botbound so i did not repot them. they are in 2 gallon pots. will they be ok in the 2 gallon pots until spring or should i pot them in bigger pots.

If they are not rootbound, just leave them be until spring. Come spring, if they are still not rootbound, then you can just put them in a larger pot.

If they are rootbound come spring, snip off a bunch of the older roots and repot to a larger container.
