too late to repot?
Default too late to repot?

I kept meaning to repot this Fredclarkeara hybrid, but never quite got around to it. Now that I'm ready the length of the new roots is giving me pause.

As you can see in the photos there are quite a few roots that probably won't make it into the current media. I was able to keep it wet enough last year but I'd like to get it into finer media that allows for less frequent watering. The new growth is also coming out at quite an angle so I was hoping to straighten it.

Is it crazy to repot now? I'd be putting it in small bark & pumice so maybe I can get that around the new roots with a bit of patience and gentle tapping?
