K.B.,

The answer to this depends completely on the condition of the medium in the
pot. What is it planted in? Is the medium decomposing or compacting? If so,
then go ahead and repot now while the new spike is small.

As far as the old spike, if in fact the plant is growing a new one how does
the plant look overall? Flowering takes a lot of energy. It might not be
worth it to allow the old spike to continue.

The plant has big ol' leaves and needs to go to another pot. The leaves
are so big, the plant falls over easily now.

KB if your only reason for repotting is that the pot is small and
tips. Don't disturb the plant. Instead get some stones and a
Larger clay pot. Put a layer of stone in the bottom to keep the
pot up and free of the bottom of the clay pot. Then center the
little pot and fill the big one with rock. The rock will weight
the larger pot and make the entire thing more stable. It will
also keep the smaller pot from drying so fast. SO be careful
when you water to let the combination drain well and make sure
the plant really needs the water before you water it.
