Yeah, the leaves got like that after the sunburn. It also had only one good root when I got it. That one root now has a small active root growing off of it and there is a new root coming out of the plant as well. I put sphag on the top because it would dry out very quickly and I needed something that held moisture a little bit longer than bark. The bottom is all bark with a little bit of sphag.

I was thinking of putting it in a smaller pot, but I'm afraid it would topple over since the older leaves are so big. I have been avoiding overwatering by just giving the good roots a bit of water when they are dry.

Once it has a better root system I can water it a bit more normally.. If you have a better suggestion please let me know. Also, if you'd like I can take a picture of the roots.
