What I would do is this: Spray the roots every few days. This is not a full "watering" it is just a spritzing. Use good water. You in Canada might be able to melt snow water and or rainwater. (do not use cold water, make sure it is room temperature). If you want to add something to the water, find something with kelp in it. Not selling any brand here. Just a tiny bit.

I have found that when you re-pot, a plant will "sulk." I use semi-hydro, so it is all the same to them. The media never changes because it is essentially "rocks." But changing from a highly water retentive media, to a less water retentive media like new bark will cause a set back.

I think though there are not a lot of leaves, the leaves you have are not wrinkly or puckered and the velemen on the roots looks like it is working (not dead).

As long as you have decent leaves and good roots, you usually have a plant that is still providing itself with food (plants make their own groceries). So it is okay for now.
