European Miltoniopsis are best repotted ASAP actually. The vast majority are potted in bark, but with a tight sphag ball at the center of the roots. Root rot guaranteed if not repotted the second you get the plant through the door.

Oh ya, I forgot that I had read about some of those situations. Yes, in that case if there is danger of root rot, always re-pot ASAP! You can always enjoy the blooms next time as your plant will have been saved from death by root rot

Ok, let me get this straight, so repotting it has probably caused the flowers to drop, but by giving it more root room and stopped any possible root rot?
Should I remove the spike now and any ideas how long another flower spike would take to appear?
Thanks
