Worried - Should I repot this Cattleya medium seedling? Roots appear poor...

****1 Month Update****

I ended up removing ALL of the roots because they were all rotten....but after a month using the ziplock baggie over it, and just leaving it alone, I am ecstatic to report that it now has 3 new roots growing!! Not only that, but ALL of my seedlings are now sprouting new roots....I transplanted all of them into those plastic beverage party cups, so I can keep a close eye on them,and they seem to be doing really well!! A huge thank you to all of you who helped me during this time...it's not over yet, but I'm shocked and thrilled to see such progress in a month!...also, I didn't get my hands on any KLN or Superthrive yet, so I'm pleased with my results so far without them....

Super! I love to hear great news like this. Keep sending us great reports, eh?

Thanks Ross, I will keep all of you posted.....actually, I have a question about the baggies...how long can you keep a plastic baggy on a plant without causing harm? Is it ok for a week or so between waterings? I was showing my mum my bagged little seedlings and she asked me...and I thought...hmmm..good question!! I was just assuming that it could be left in the bag until the next watering.....any thoughts?

Woo Hoo! I love success stories. Once it has enough roots to support itself you can take the baggie off. Or take if off for a few hours at a time and let it get used to a little less humidity.
