Yep. As far as I know

I just repotted mine last night.

I totally ripped off OrchidBro’s idea and made a basket mount
I’ll put a pick up later

I've been reading from several sources that it can be done now, as soon or before the new growths appear or after blooming, which means, in my case, September. This is to avoid damaing any potencial spike that may exist.

I'm just not sure if there are spikes already before the new growths appear.

Stanhopea Culture is a good read. I've done mine after blooming.

I'd also wait until after blooming. I made the mistake of repotting a large plant a few years back and found a bunch of new spikes that mostly ended up dying.

I'm glad I didn't decided to rebasket now...it has two spikes.

This is the 3rd year it blooms under my care and it usually only gives one spike.





As you can see, it really needs to be rebasketed. Notice the difference between the side that gets light and the other.

Now it bloomed from the first spike...this plant really needs a repot. It also has some issues from what I think could be a bacterial or fungal (the most probable). One of the leaves also has a discoloration that councides with the areas closer to the window but, as the window is small and facing north, it might be another issue.

Some photos...sorry but I can't post the smell.

I only have one, and it is not quite mature enough to bloom, but I repotted it yesterday. The new growths are about three inches tall, and I can see active root growth coming from older growths, so that seemed like a good time to do it, while the roots were actively growing. I know that doesn't help you much since you already did yours, but that's what I did, and that was my reasoning behind it.

Aren't they wonderful? Your blooms give me chills-so lovely. The 7 I have,some species and some hybrids,all get leaf issues from time to time and yours just looks from a too dry issue,no disease. Enjoy the brief moment of showiness and fragrance.
