I did the coffee thing for snails in Masdevallias. It worked with just 1 dose and no trauma to the plants. Found this out from Ray's site.

Thanks - in the photo you can see that I had these squished down in a candle holder instead of on an open saucer -
If I unwrap & look at the roots, am I likely to find the suspected snail(s)?

Probably the roots are being suffocated. Remember, this is an epiphyte. I would unwrap and check root health.

Many thanks to all who responded. I unwrapped them today & as you all said, the roots were rotting.
I appreciate all the comments

I think this could be successful if you watered differently from the start and adapted the plant over many months. A plant with lots of roots would use the water in the sphagnum ball rapidly. But at first the roots would not be adapted. If you try again, wait to water the moss until quite crisp. Don't soak it when you water; quickly run water over it. The water will diffuse through the moss, leaving it slightly moist, but still holding plenty of air.
