Now the hard part... ignoring for the next 20 - 60 days...
Wish me luck!

Good luck....however you might need to improvise this one thing.
Full sun on a hot deck with mid 80 temps will harm your plant.
Decks will get up to 130 degrees and a black container will kick the temp up even further.
It is like taking a little skinny white kid with red hair to the beach all day with no sunscreen.
You know the rest of the story
Keep the warmth but keep in the shade till a leaf emerges.
Your new plants till go through some more expected changes as it settles in its perlite palace.
Possibly expect your plants to desiccate back to the soil line as the corm put it's energy towards new roots. This will happen soon.
Your plant will be working hard to get its roots before it does anything else.
Good luck on the grow.
Thanx foer asking the question...
