Leave them be!

Don’t repot them. They’re very prone to shock from repotting, and the colder temps now will only raise the risk of shock. When repotting them, it’s best to not fool with their roots, cover any exposed roots in Bonide’s Rooting Hormone Powder (or another brand. Rooting powder is key. That’s just what I find the most available from box stores and nurseries), and adding perlite or other amendments to soil instead of removing the current mix, even if it isn’t the best draining. If it’s not in a well-draining mix, let it completely dry out between waterings and use a toothpick or barbecue skewer to test that the soil has dried out before watering them. Hope this helps!

For most plants, don't repot until it's done flowering. The ideal time is usually when you start to see new leafy buds or new root growth coming in. Repotting can interrupt blooming and make flowers fade earlier or even fail to open
