Default Peristeria elata query

I have a Peristeria elata that needs to be repotted as it's next growth will take it over the edge of it's pot.
The plant has two little 'somethings' peeping from under the latest mature bulb. This bulb is around golf ball size and don't think the plant is big enough to flower. (what would we do without golf balls?).
My query is when should I do the repotting?

Thanks for the 'bump' Joann but it didn't help.

To avoid the rush of answers that are sure to come, I hereby announce I have repotted the plant.

I certainly will report the results WR. If you see a post with, "Boohoo, boohoo" in it you can be sure my plant has gone to that big shade house in the sky.

Peristeria update as promised Sonya.

One of the little 'somethings' that appeared at the base of the last bulb is now a happy/healthy new growth but the other tossed in the towel and did nothing.

But: two of the older bulbs now have new shoots and the third has a keiki with roots growing from its tip so apparently I did something right.

Stay tuned for news of flowers. BTW, does anyone know how big the 'bulbs' need to be to produce flowers as I read somewhere they can reach baseball size?
