Default A little help is needed

I finally got the division from the guy on ebay (see avatar). Here is the problem...

First, the plant was in a box for 5 days, the live moss he had the roots in was dry. When I unwrapped the moss most of the roots fell off and he had trimmed them also. Some of the root were still white and firm but about 1/2 to an inch long.

Second, the division is only two bulbs I believe. so not sure if its viable.

As of right now I put it in a 2 inch pot with fine coconut mix just because the roots seemed to small for large bark and I thought a 4 inch pot was too big for the size of division I soaked the plant and held the rhizome down with a piece of bamboo since have no clips at the moment. I plan to put it under low light (phals) for now to see if it can make it.

Any other advice is appreciated I will put up pictures of it shortly . Its already potted so no shots of the roots.

Thanks

mel
