| E-jag I am like most commercial growers and re-pot all year long. It is just not economical to wait until their is new growth. Re-potting with new growth is a safer method, but will often cause you to miss a blooming season.
Many of the common dens you are buying are year round continual blooming Dens (in a 12 month growing area like Hawaii 9 months in Florida)so there is really no off season.
Maddy - the tag should have a sufficient warning not to buy the plant. That is really wood in the pot. It is large pieces of coconut. I do not know how they get them to grow sufficient to bloom but re-potting will require you to rip off almost all the roots.
you might be able to keep it alive in the coconut but it will be very hard to re-bloom.
Take it out, rip off the wood and hope for the best. Whatever you paid was too much.
