Potting up one size.. continued
bring the soil level right up to the rims

 

Then very gently lift the pot out of the center.  Leaving a neat hole to drop your plant in.
Now you have the perfect shape to set your plant in.
Check the plant over and scrape the neck so it will root in the new soil you can use a rooting hormone dust here, but it isn't absolutely necessary
Use something to tease the roots out of the root ball letting the plant know that it can grow outwards.
Now gently lower your plant into the shape (mold)  you made for it. 
Then fill to the top with new soil.  

 

Water in and you will have a happy plant for another few months.
