October after flowering is ideal
Can be done a little earlier but do not allow to flower, or later thru summer if after care is good

I acquired a sticky wattle a few months ago. I would like to repot it and I read that it should be done in October after flowering. We're now just past mid-October and my sticky has not flowered apart from 1 single flower a few weeks ago. Am I good to go now, even though it didn't flower properly?
Luke.

After flowering is more about not upsetting the flowers with an inappropriate repotting. Repotting time is more about the time of year so 'after flowering is a reminder of when to do the repots. If your acacia hasn't flowered or only had a couple you are still good to go in October or November.
In many places the repot window is even wider than those 2 months.
