Default New wilsonara 'stirling tiger'. Care advice please

I have just acquired a wilsonara 'stirling tiger' which I know nothing about. I've looked online for instructions on care but haven't been able to find much. The only thing I found online was that they take well to SH. I don't want to repot her any time soon because she has a spike with 11 buds and another spike emerging so I didn't want to touch her till she was done but I may have to. In the meantime I'd like to know how to keep her happy, temp, light, potting medium etc. She is a decent sized plant with 9 pseudobulbs. I suspect a little root rot cause the medium looks pretty old, the older pseudobulbs have really started to shrivel and the new ones are growing smaller than the older ones indicating inadequate nutrients. Would you recommend waiting to repot or doing it even tho she is about to bloom?

Just thinking....how about checking with place where you bought it?
Usually sellers are quite willing to help out.

She was a bit of a rescue. They didn't even know she was in spike. It was just a local flower shop. It was given to me because I took the worst looking Catt they had in the store and transformed it into a beauty with 13 flowers on her currently. This gal had been shoved to the back of the table behind all the plants where they toss the non blooming orchids so I go through and find the pathetic ones and buy them. This one fortunately had a tag. Most of them don't. And they gave her to me
