Spring, summer, and into the early fall are good times for repotting a Rhaphidophora. If you live in a climate where winter comes early, then spring and summer will be best.

Give your Rhaphidophora a good watering after you do the repotting.
I then put mine back in its bright spot in the kitchen where it had been growing about 8? away from a south facing window.
