Should I transplant twice or just once? I am still waiting for my big 5 gallon smart pot (cloth). Should I transplant her to a temporary bigger for of a few more liters until the smart pot arrives or just wait? The temporary pot would have no holes or anything in it on the bottom

Your plant looks OK in it's current pot. I would wait for your fabric pot to arrive before transplanting. If you have never used fabric pots be ready for the increased evaporation. You may need to water every day. Iv'e found that the roots do really well with daily watering and over watering is extremely difficult. When I water the soil on top is dry more than two knuckles deep and the sides and bottom of the pot are completely dry to the touch (I set mine on plastic risers so the bottom of the pot also gets airflow. When watering I do it slowly. The first water I spread evenly over the entire surface and let it soak in a minute or two. Once damp the soil can accept water faster without running off. Then a minute or two later apply more water evenly over the entire surface. If you have water coming out and running down the side of the pot you are watering too much too fast. If done right a half hour after watering the entire outside of your fabric pot should be moist/damp to the touch. If you water too much the excess will just run out the bottom.

So it’s for the best if I just keep it in untill my big pot arrives in the hopefully upcoming days?

Transplant as few times as possible. If you transplant, transplant to your final container/space.

@PeaceLane I don’t think the roots are showing. When I try to pull it pot out all of the soil falls apart (coco gold/perlite) so I can’t really tell without being afraid to damage the plant with all the soil just falling out of the pot.

If you use a metal rod (screwdriver) or something like that held over a candle or torch and use it to burn holes in the bottom (the more the merrier) then I would say go ahead and transplant. But you never want to put the plant in a closed container as it will cause serious root issues. Happy Growing!!!
