You are really going to need to put some thinking into your medium. What I am seeing with all those different sized, layered particles is a pH timebomb waiting to happen. Honestly I would loose the hydroton, its doing nothing there.
When considering your medium, it should be a consistent mix, that is fine, but aerated. If you want to really go an organic route lookup some of the soil recipes here on the forum. I have one posted here where I use local ingredients to make a super soil.
As far as moving plants around in and out. You are really causing stress. That plant is so much tougher than you think, and will do so much better without constant micro-intervention. Leave them be and let them do their thing.
