Now is a good time to re pot, or you can scrape off and top dress the
existing pot (minimum pot size should be at least 10 lts, 25lts+ if you
want to leave it and not keep repotting, feed next spring and you can
tidy off any tatty ends as well, but you are a bit late for cutting back
this year so best left with a tidy.
