Encouraged by the success with my Miltoniopsis, today I put my Miltonidium in SH as well. I hope it does well.

Good luck!!
No need for all those holes in the pot, all you need are two at the upper limit of the reservoir. I'm not certain, but all those other holes may dry out the leca, when it should be staying damp via wicking.

Agree with Camille; you only need two holes to create a reservoir. Other hole will interfere with the LECA's ability to wick the moisture, and will speed up mineral build up.
Good luck!

You're completely right I think. Didn't think of that. Have to get me another pot and make only two holes in it.

I just changed it into another pot with only three holes in it. I hope she doesn't get too stressed from all this changing.

I don't think the repotting is too much extra stress, after all you only just repotted it a few days ago! Better to stress it twice is a short amount of time, than a month apart for instance.
