The plants don’t get big, but the roots like a little bit of room.
Have you considered taking 1 or 2 out?
Especially the ones that are near the edge of the basket?

One micro dwarf’s root ball can mostly fill a gallon container in 2-3 months. Probably safest to give each plant somewhere around 1 sq. ft., unless you’re going more for ornamental value than good growth.

Yes. That’s not even big enough for one. You need at least a 5 gal container for each plant.

If you want really healthy growth and more fruit, I’d thin them out to maybe 3-4 plants max in that pot. If you’re feeling brave, you could try 5, but you might get smaller plants and less fruit per plant.
