I would say the earlier the better! Other people may have a different opinion but I’d say you could now! I waited too long and mine got comfortable growing to the sides instead of up and it took a lot of space. I recently repotted and had to untangle the rootball and orient the stocks upright to get it on a moss pole. So I’d say save yourself from that headache🙏🏻
