Many people get the larger basket, leave the plant in the old basket, and carefully thread the roots through the slats in the new basket. You'll need to tie it to the basket supports to keep it somewhat upright, and there is the risk you'll break the stem trying. It's inconvenient but what you see is how the plant generally grows.

Thanks for the reply! So no issues (other than looks) leaving it as is?
