I would like a 2nd opinion

When I bought my Psychopsis a few months ago the vendor said this plant could go another year before needing repotting. Now that it has 2 new growths starting, and roots coming out the bottom and sides of pot, I think now would be the ideal time to repot if you guys think it would be better not to wait another year. Any advice?

If it was mine I would cut the pot away as carefully as you can to do as little damage to the roots and re-pot it.I would go one size larger one and a half tops

I noticed with mine that when it put out a couple of new growths, it didn't seem to demand pot resizing as some of my sympodial ones do. I would say you could go up a size, but no rush to do so.

Thanks guys. Another question, I bought it potted in coco husk chips, I think it does really well in that, and I want to find them, but I was wondering what other members are growing Psychopsis in?
