Do you do this to let any wounds callous? I ask because if I've had a violent unpotting (not my fault if the plants aren't willing to cooperate), I will let them dry out over a day or so before potting them. However, I do soak the roots in water for 10 mins or longer before placing them in the pot. Otherwise, it's snap fest.
But I'm confused as to why changing the LECA is a contributing factor for you. Wouldn't new LECA be as sterile as it gets even after prepping it?
