Hello everyone! Is it ok for me to repot (drop and plop) my cymbidiums in November in North America (Oregon) or should I wait until spring?

Well, I dropped mine this past week, pot broke, so drop and plop rootball in new pot. Doesn’t seem to have suffered. Was same size pot though, and no change of media.

Drop and plop should be no problem - you won't be disturbing the roots. If the goal is just to give them some more space, that will be fine, they'll grow into the fresh medium when they are ready. This will also make the next "real" repot easier, the roots will tend to spread out. But do schedule the plants for that thorough repot next spring, so you can clean out any nasty medium stuck in the middle.
