recent S/H transfer- Miltionopsis new growths are tiny

[camille1585]

About 4 months ago I decided to give S/H a test and transferred 2 plants. One was a Brassia type with a new growth putting out roots, and that one settled in fantastically and the growth matured into a giant bulb.

The other plant was a last ditch attempt to save a Miltionopsis. Here they are sold in bark with a core of rock hard sphag, and despite repotting as soon as I got it home 90% of the roots were dead. With my previous 5 attempts of saving one of these all ending in failure, I decided that I had nothing to lose by sticking it in S/H. Amazingly the 3 existing growths put out 6-7 new ones within a few weeks, which all have some nice roots growing. The bulbs have since matured, however they are miniscule! Older growths are nearly a foot tall with big bulbs, all of the new ones are maybe 4 inches, max. Is this normal for plants adjusting to S/H? Or because it was a somewhat weakened plant to begin with? It obviously is liking it, I already see a new root down in the reservoir. Pics to come when I have time.
