Dont. You will kill the plant like I did with my first vine, on top of not having good enough drainage.I guess I can try to ease the plants out of the containers and add soil to the bottom or up-pot. Maybe add mulch for the plants that I want to wait until the end of the 2024 season to do that for (mulch should let enough air in not to harm the trunk while keeping the moisture closer to the surface of the soil, encourage roots to make use of the near-surface).
Why would drainage be an issue though?
From what I recall, the Carmine can be divided into four varieties: Palace Pink, Full Red, Born Red, and Big Leaf Red; with palace pink and full red being the best.
not “four varieties”,It's five series.
宫粉红 gong fen hong --Palace Pink
全红 quan hong --Full Red
出世红chu shi hong --Born Red
大叶红da ye hong --Big Leaf Red
七月红qi yue hong --July Red
七月红是最多人种植的一个系列( July Reds are one of the most widely grown series.)

What is the difference between the Four Season Red and Carmine?
Is it because Four Season Red has fruits all four season of the year?
I think the Sylvia guava I found is more similar to the Four Season than the Carmine. Can you tell me the weight of the largest Four Season fruits?
The largest Sylvia guava (if you saw my posts) is 243 grams, which is larger than any Carmine photos I have seen.
