I don't think I would risk the up-coming blossoms by repotting right now - there's nothing to gain. However just as soon as the bloom is over I would repot. I tend to repot every orchid I get just so I can check the roots and overall condition of the plant. I've had a couple instances of hiding critters that I would just as soon avoid. I also have a certain combination of things I have settled on over the years that I seldom waiver from (clay pots, preferable the ones with side slots; coarse bark with charcoal in it, etc.) I'm a stickler for good air supply to roots, fast drainage and avoid root rot at all costs!

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
