I guess it depends on what you believe will work. I know that I have no problems with repotting in the spring. However I tend to stress out a lot if I do it in the autumn and don't see any growth before winter sets in. Depends also on how cold it is already. David

If these temps would last for a month then you should be able to do the repot. This is only my opinion. Hopefully other people in zone 7 can give you more advice as well.
