I am really thrilled that the Mildred Hollingsworth has so many sheaths since that was my first division and I landed up with 4 plants. The one from the oldest back bulbs is suffering a little from heat stress since it hasn't grown too many roots yet. I put it back in the house. It has one new p-bulb with no sheath yet and is growing roots. The p-bulb is small still so I am hoping it will get one. It is in a west facing sliding glass door so it gets plenty of indirect sunlight.

You should have no problem getting sunlight in Florida! I think you did the right thing bringing the smallest one in. Until it has some roots from the new growth to help support the older parts, it likely will be a bit stressed in a lot of sun and heat. I have some divisions too and the older leaves are all a bit leathery since roots were old. But new growths are growing on them. Till then I try to protect them a bit.
