HELP! Can I/Should I, still repot this Cattleya!??

[emmajs243]

Ok guys!!! I am LITERALLY bouncing off the walls with excitement!!!! One of my large, BS, unifold, Catts I feel needs a pretty desperate repot. I knew from prior threads with you guys it's best to have new root growth though and really wanted to swap her s/h when repotting so wanted to make sure she had new roots to give her the best chance at success! She is however a winter/early spring bloomer. oh and to be specific I guess she isn't a Catt she is really a Pot.

So this week she sprouted two new roots with at least two more on the way so I had planned to repot her this weekend/today! Well when I went to start soaking her I found with overflowing excitement that one of her little eyes swapped from dorminacy to a new growth!!!!!!!!!! Can't even explain my excitement! This is my first new growth on a Catt and she was shipped this winter from hawaii to Idaho so I was concerned that with the shipping and drastic climate change she may be a little set back!

So the question....can I or should I still repot her??? Will this harm the new growth at all?? she is just climbing/stair stepping out of her pot and this new growth doesn't even have room to grow inside of the pot needless to say roots in the pot. I am also worried about her roots health because the ones on top don't look great and didn't when I got her so I'm concerned the ones in the pot may be unhealthy too!

What would YOU do???? Is it ok to repot at this stage in the growing cycle?? Also, there is a photo of the new growth and the eye on the opposite side also looks quite swollen up suddenly...any idea if this is a result from the new growth or if maybe this eye is also going to form a new growth?? If I must have patience then that's ok too!
