Default Dendrobiums

Last week in Tesco I came across this Dendrobium, a change from all the
white they have been selling

At £8.00 I had to have it especially when I saw the base

It has 7 new stems growing away well.
Well how could I leave it to the mercy of Tesco?
All my dendrobiums are throwing new shoots, and a few of my other
orchids are throwing new flower stems.
I know they say dendrobiums like to be pot bound, but instinct tells me
that with that many new shoots it should be repotted up a size or two,
it's in a 4inch pot at present.
