Well, like other plants, just keeping moving them up another size when they get rootbound. Yours looks like a 3-gallon pot so you would want to give it a five-gallon container at first, then a ten-gallon container, and then a fifteen-gallon container. These plants get big and heavy when they are mature. I have several. One of mine is rootbound in a ten-gallon container, and another is rootbound in a fifteen-gallon container. The good news is that they can stay rootbound for a long time before you replant them and still do well. In time, they can become very big plants if given enough space to grow in.
