I dont think throwing it in LECA at this point would help much. I made the mistake of switching a dying orchid into LECA and the base started to rot in the hydroton clay. Think it needs to show some signs of root growth to repot. If you stick the aerial roots in the LECA they will also rot almost immediately. What seems to work for others and i havent tried yet is creating some sort of heat under the leca using a heating mat or warmer environment. For me where I live its pretty cool (NYC) and ive almost given up completely on LECA.
I got a sick orchid with one AERIAL root thats hanging on to dear life sitting on top of some bark mix with wires and sticks holding it up. Ive been spraying the base with KELPMAX from Ray. But maybe it looks like I need to purchase his heating mat.
