I figure that after my Cattleya is finished blooming I am going to need to repot it. The problem is I have never owned an Orchid this big before. Do I just place it in a larger pot or do I need to divide it for the health of the plant?

I added a ruler next to it to give you guys an idea of what I am talking about. Oh yea...For anyone who uses metric measurements I don't know how to convert it, but the Catt. is over two feet tall and in a ten inch pot. Also it has grown around its self and about half of the roots that I can see are broken and in bad shape.

I knew I was getting into something when I found this one in the far back room of a nursery! LOL! But for the price I just could not pass it up! The cool thing was after a month of having it I got blooms and it has been going constantly for over a month now with about six more sheaths that haven't opened yet!
Sorry I got side tracked there! I'm just still excited about this Orchid!
So If anyone has ideas or hints about what I should do...after all the blooms are done of course! I would greatly appreciate the help!
Last note: The Cattleya is a Bc. Goldenzelle x Sc. Boltoni x C. Harrisonjane. Wow That's a long name! LOL
