HELP PLEASE! SEDIREA JAPONICA QUESTION

[Leisurely]

About a months ago I received a Sedirea japonica that was mounted with only a few strands of coconut fiber attached to the piece of wood on which it was growing. The leaf span is about 5" and the leaves seem somewhat dessicated with some browning at the tips on the older leaves. There are at least six newer roots with green root tips. The plant is also making a flower spike.

My first inclination was to un-mount it and plant it in a small clay pot with sphagnum but I ended up leaving it on the mount instead and wrapped it loosely in good quality sphagnum thinking that the plant would benefit from the extra moisture.

I am open for suggestions because I had one of these plants previously and it bloomed during the first spring that I had it and did not bloom again for the next two years. It looked very healthy with real thick leaves and a nice medium green color and lots of white roots. I believe I thought I could force it to bloom by mounting it. Mistake!! One healthy looking leaf at a time dropped until therel was nothing left but roots.
