Angreacum Eburneum sensitive repot
 

I bought this big guy here couple days ago and eagerly wanting to repot him in a big pot with Leca, S/H. Then I notice that its roots are growing. I've heard that Angreacum don't really appreciate their root being touched in anyway and will sulk for 5+ years.

Should I just bite the bullet and repot it in a bigger container once and for all or should I just wait until he finish his growth?

I'd go ahead and repot. Try not to disturb the roots any more than you have to, but if they're growing this is the time. If it were my plant, I'd leave the existing medium in place, and fill in with LECA if you're going the semi-hydro route. But get advice from some of our members who grow in semi-hydro as far as that goes... I don't know whether avoiding root disturbance is more important than a complete change of medium, or whether some remaining old medium would be harmful.

I think I will keep a few of the media that stuck to the roots and put the rest in semi hydro. I wont go full hydroponic, but only using the leca for its non decomposing element. Hopefully it wont mind being in a big pot this soon.

If the mix is inorganic and very airy, pot size probably isn't all that critical. In fact, I'd suggest a terracotta pot for the weight. Are you planning on growing it outside? Angcm. eburneum is quite cold-tolerant. A friend who lives in my neighborhood has a monster A. eburneum growing in a tree, that blooms every year.

that's super great news! I initially planned to keep it as a house orchid.

I have found Angraecums move easily to S/H during warm (growing season) weather. I gently swish the plant in a bucket of water to remove the old medium. I don't remove firmly attached old medium chunks from roots when putting plants into S/H. I don't think it's necessary at all, and it will damage roots.

Getting it outside in the spring is perfect for getting it acclimated. By next winter, it will be ready for whatever nature throws at it.

that was the second most stressful repot, it was way messier than I thought. This diva better gratefully accept her new home because I was staying up just to give her premium surgeon service, not a single touch on the root. https://imgur.com/GzxBNAT.jpeg
