i’d say you could get away with anything between 8 \& 13”

a pot that big is sure to rot this plant’s roots, especially in a dense soil…

i would recommend transferring to rinsed perlite or coarse perlite, or leca, before soil, to reduce the risk of transplant shock. if you’re set on soil, choose the smallest pot possible, maybe 4 - 6”. only water when at least the top inch or so of soil is dry to prevent rot
