Hi, there, thanks for filling out your details, I,m in the u.k. zone 8 or 9 near the coast and coastals are borderline hardy here. In a small container i,d give a little protection, especially as the roots are so young and tender. I think any root disturbance now would not be able to heal until spring and you risk losses and with root growth minimal till spring no advantage of potting on now. In the spring, tease the roots apart and separate the cuttings and plant in larger pots but not too big whilst spreading the roots out to form the basis of future nebari (surface roots) sometimes this is done over a flat stone or tile to promote a flat lateral root system. (see pic below to see what I mean). Next season you can pot up whenever the root system starts to fill the pot if the roots are not disturbed, or consider transfering to the ground for the fastest growth. regards Andrew
