What size pot?

[Cattleya17]

Hello guys i have an Angraecum Sesquipedale and im wondering what size pot to put it in? I ordered it from Parkside Orchids a few months ago and i called them and they said that i can repot it. It's been in a 4.5 inch pot since 2009(they told me that the date 2/09 was it's last repot date) the plant has made two new leaves since ive had it and it is growing 3 new roots inside and out side of the pot and there is a root coming out of the bottom. The roots in the pot have filled it completely.

I have a 6.5 to 7 inch pot clay with air holes on the side ready to go. Is this pot too big? I have some bark mix with some chunks of coarse sphagnum is this ok?


Thank you soo much for all the help guys!
