Planta is recommending repotting this orchid in 4 days but I am new to orchids and not sure I should be repotting it while it is about to bloom. Any advice?

You are correct it’s best to wait till the blooms are gone to repot. repotting can stress out any plant so I follow this “rule” for all blooming plants

I would definitely wait for repotting until all the flowers fall down. It looks like a very healthy plant.
