It is possible that the remaining buds may not open. Do not worry too much about it, because sometimes buds blast even if you have not disturbed the roots, simply due to a change in environment.

Make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes, and take care not to overwater.

Thank you so much for the reply! Good to know I am on the the right path!
