Novice Repotting Question

 Midsummer last year my wife surprised me with 3 fig plants that she purchased online (from a nursery that I often see mentioned in this forum)-a Celeste,a Hardy Chicago and a St. Anthony Marseilles. They arrived in 1qt. pots. Having to move quickly and without any time to really prepare, I re-potted them into what a local nursery sells as 14 inch pots-which is a slightly generous description.I do know that they hold 3.25 gallons of liquid. For soil I used a combination of an organic commercial potting soil, a commercial cactus soil, perlite, sharp builders sand and some granite dust. I overwintered them by moving them back and forth between the drafty walk-in to my basement and into the basement itself on bitter nights.All three are now starting to show signs of new leaf growth.
  My question is weather I will have to re-pot this year or if a pot of this size will suffice for this season. Each of the plants are just under 2ft. tall. Any advice from those much more experienced than myself (about pruning also) would be greatly appreciated.Thanks for your time.



Those pots should be fine do a search on pinching and you should be set.
