Correct. The first adjustment to experiment with is incrementally giving it more light than you have been.

As for Nishidemiyako morphs, some are more prone to reverting than others. It's simply the nature of growing these varieties. Once you learn what to look for though, or if you have a very trustworthy and highly knowledgeable vendor select for you, you can obtain the more stable ones. They're significantly more expensive though when you do find them.
Anyway, here are some large clumps of smaller Nishide morphs:
Tamanishiki
Ginsekai
Miyakodori
Tamazuru
I should mention too that they can get bigger than these, but but growers like to keep a clump tidy for judging, and simply big at the expense of aesthetics doesn't get you any awards.
