I want to get them out of the moss and into a more porous potting medium. Since they are in bloom, I was not sure if it was a good idea. What do you all recommend?

I just want to add that they were purchased from Hauserman's, not at Lowe's or Trader Joes.

It's probably better to get them out of the sphagnum moss and into something more suitable (given your temps) and risk loosing a few flowers rather than loosing roots and possibly the whole plant. It's just a bit more difficult due to the long flower spike.
