Sorry bro, that sounds a little small. Remember that the rule of thumb is for every 1 foot your plant grows you should match with a 1 gallon container.

If you want your plant to reach 3 ft then get a 3 gallon container. Your width sounds okay, but height will definitely be an issue. Good luck!

Its really not that hard to do. Get your new three gallon pot, fill it with dirt around one of your smaller pots. Pull out the small pot. Put your hand around the stem and turn that baby upside down. Tap the outside gently, it will fall out in your hand. Turn it back over and gently place it in the whole.

eh?? I don't know why people say those pots aren't big enough.

how many litres/gallons are those pots? I've got 15L (4 gallon) pots for my plants final stage. Looking at your dimesnisons they seem about the same size as mine, I reckon your pots must be at least 3 gallons mate, so you should be fine with them to be honest man.
