Dormant or as most other orchids, when it's just starting to make new roots?

I do not truly repot lycastes, but pot up when they need more room. Usually
this will be when they are starting to make inflorescences as I keep them tight
in the pot. With this in mind, most of my lycastes get to be quite large. This
year I divided many of my plants as they were now filling 12in pots. These were
knocked out of the pots, divided and repotted without cleaning any more than
what fell off in the process. This was done in the spring when new growth was
starting, but before the new roots were started.
