Default How long before the plant adapts to S/H?

I repotted some of my phals and a cambria into S/H for about three weeks ago, and so far they are doing fine. The phals where in bloom, but i decided to repot anyhow, becourse of the medias condition. When i bought them, they where almos bathing in their pots...and the media was pretty decomposed, and had started some root-rot. I trimed the roots, and repotted.

I have been expecting the old roots to rot, and i alsow expected to loose some flowers/buds. And this did happen to the cambria, as this one was used to dry conditions. The old roots have started to rot. But this one did not bloom, and alsow had a lot of new growth when i repotted, and it seems to grow even more and faster after the repot.

But the phals seems to have adapted to the new cultur whitout any swet...seeming to doing better than before. Ive lost to small buds on one of the phals. But the other ones have even grown more buds, and this after i belived they where pretty much finished blooming... Some of the old flowers had started wiltering, so you can just imagine my surprise when they started to set new buds on the same spike, and even the spike has grown taler and the new buds is in the top, above the wiltered one. Three of the phals has responded like this.

I belive that this may be becourse they where already used to wet medium, but the growing conditions has becom better sice there is now mutch more air-flow to the roots?

Should i still be conserned about them, since they didnt had mutch new roots before the repot, or does it seem like they have adapted to S/H witout loosing any roots?
