Hello!

You should know that repotting is stressful for the plant. You said that you
did some dammage to the roots when you removed the old medium.
I would letthe plants in this new pot. They will grow new roots and leaves.
You may not have flowers this year but nest year, they will be fully adapted
to their new pot.
What kind of medium did you use?
