Any Restrepia in SH?? Male

There will be an issue moving plants with very small roots into S/H. The roots need to reach the moist zone in the S/H container. A "standard" 1 quart / 1 liter food tub with holes drilled an inch / 2.54cm from the bottom will not work for a small plant like this. A smaller container you drill yourself should work. The large LECA often used for S/H might be too big for such a container for a tiny plant. Smaller LECA might work.

You can use a large jar as a terrarium for individual plants. I have a tiny Dossinia marmorata propagation in a 2" / 5cm pot inside an olive jar. When not posing for a photo I use a label to prop the jar up slightly on the lid, permitting air circulation.
