Repotting while an orchid is in bloom carries a risk [not a certainty, but a
risk] of causing the flowers to drop. If the mix is broken down [stays very
soggy for a long time after you water, or smells bad], or if you suspect
pests in the potting media, I'd say take the risk on this flowering to
better the plant's chance of survival to give you future flowers. But if
it's just that it has a lot of aerial roots outside the pot, then there's no
rush, enjoy the flowers and then repot later.

is this okay? we just bought a beautiful phal that is blooming like crazy
but it's roots are looking a little rough and we'd like to ensure its
longevity.

thanks
