You can repot it right after the blooms start to fade. Once they start to fade repot. The blooms take a lot of energy out of the pbulbs so once they "start" to fade cut the flowers off. Then repot. Gently take it out of the pot and use tweezers to carefully pull out small chunks of spag from around the roots. Dlc's have small thinner than normal roots so be careful. But you'll find it an easy task. Don't be afraid. Get some new long fiber New Zealand sphagnum moss and wet it well before you stuff it carefully around the roots. I use tweezers to place it deep into the root mass. Don't pack it in but just place small wads of it intot he root mass. You'll find it is very easy so don't be timid. You can also use small 1/4 to 1/2 inch pine or fir bark with some charcoal added in to sweeten the mix. Get the pot, the mix in a bowl right next to the pot, and begin. Hold the plant upright over the pot with the roots dangling inside the pot. Get a handful of mix and startn pouring it into the pot around the roots. Once there is a bunch in the pot, tap the sides of the pot to settle the mix around the roots. Do this with a little at a time. Keep pouring some in and then tapping it on the table to settle it. Before you know it you've potted your baby and it will be a happy plant for a couple more years. It won't even hiccup.
