looks like you have it covered take it easy don't put it in the sun until the leafs sprout then ease it in to the sun over a couple of weeks to a month depending on how hot it is were you are it may look like its not doing any thing but it will be growing root for a wail and keep the fertilizer at least 5 inches away form the stem/corm and go easy at first you don't want to burn any new tender roots that are forming
