Its a hybrid of 'sharry baby' and another onc. which I cannot remember right now. It also smells chocolatey

Thanks Cheryl, I think youre right. I worked (practically wrestled!) the root ball out of the container and it was a soil-like mush with some sort of pebbles towards the bottom. They were crushable with finger pressure and crumbled into dust.

Based on what you and SJF said, I think I will wait another 2 weeks or so to repot. I would like to enjoy the flowers for a bit longer.
After repotting, whatever happens, happens.


Thanks everyone, again!

You're very wise. I have no idea why I didn't think of that before airing my problems to the forum.
I knew the possible results to every possible decision - I just needed you to rub it in my face (in a good way).

You're the best!
