Our society member also gave anybody who wanted a very small (and also rootless) division of another Stanhopea. I put my piece, with three pea-sized pseudobulbs, into a teak basket with long-fiber sphagnum moss. I kept it wet. In spring it began a new growth, but despite me keeping it wet, that growth died, and the pseudobulbs soon followed. I don't know why that happened.

ES, I believe the key at that stage (only pbulbs and young leaves) is to keep it moist and not wet, especially in sphagnum. Maybethat was the cause.
BTW, the plant in the thread you've mentioned is now becoming a "monster". During the first years, as it was growing bigger, it used to have two new growths. This year it has four and I'm starting to think how big it will be in a few years.
As it's already established, especially in low humidity no problem to keep it as wet as it can get.
