Make sure that she is not root bound. I would also fertilize with a high phosphorus fertilizer.(I use miracle grow rose food, it works great!) Also, cut off any yellowed or damaged leaves and spent flowers.

When is the best time to repot it I'm concerned about how the roots look. And best soil and how to have it set up its currently in a glass tall vase with leca, soil then bark ontop. Thank you

@lilycatus I use miracle grow orfqnjcs for my painters palette. I add a little volcanic stone to craeate air pockets. I also only use a balanced NPK plant food (fortified 20/20/20) to keep it healthy. Do t repot until the roots are seen taking up space in the glass. I always wait until my plants are rootbound/pot bound before going up in size. Healthy roots can support the foliage. Too much soil can cause problems if the roots are undersized and are going short.
