Suggestions for Cattleya falling over in pot

[SakuraDrops]

Hi all,
I just purchased this cutie at the local nursery. It is overwhelming its container, it cannot stand up straight on its own. Should I just keep it in the container for now?
If so, when would it be best to repot? I currently have it nestled up against the leaves of my other ones. It is not pushing them excessively. You can see in the final picture.. Is this okay for now? Please tell me your thoughts, thanks alot! 😊❤️🙏

You have new roots. Ideal time would have been about a month ago, but you can do it now if you are gentle. Just pull the pot out of the pot, shake loose whatever old bark falls off easily (but don't worry about cleaning any off that sticks) , and put it into a pot that is big enough for about 2 years' growth. Put the oldest part of the plant against the side of the pot (to allow maximum growing room) and fill in with medium bark. Gently press the bark into place along the sides away from the roots, tap to settle bark into the spaces between the roots, press gently again. You want to pack the bark in firmly enough that the plant doesn't wobble, but don't press in areas where you might break roots. Those new roots are pretty big, so you need to be very careful with them. Just settle the plant into its new home.

If the plant doesn't slide out of the pot easily, you also can lust leave it in that pot and put the whole thing into the new larger pot, filling in with bark, again being very careful with those new roots.

And if it’s still top heavy after repotting, you can put the pot into a larger pot, along with as many rocks as it takes to stabilize it.
