It is hard to tell from the pictures, but don't make a big jump. What is the diameter of the pots in comparison to the pots they are currently in? Are there drainage holes in the bottom of the pots?

I won't even give advice here. I've potted up from a 4" straight to gallon size lol...

In a pinch I just plant a little bit shallow. I bet the Imperialis will be fine tho; that looks healthy and ready to pop off. :)
