Good news about my Debi Lilly. If it blooms white as promised, then I really will owe them an apology.

This picture was taken on Dec. 27th, just a few days after I purchased it.

And when I was turning it a little today, I noticed this:

and this, which is probably a new leaf:

I thought about adding a little coco-fiber (because I have too much) or perlite because I thought too much of the bulb was above the soil line. Doesn't seem like I should. But would y'all recommend that I get something in the pot (ahem) now to stake it?

Edited to add: Before anyone tells me that the leaves should be darker I want ro say that they are. I noticed that in the first picture the leaves looked on the lighter side (not good). It's merely my 'smartphone' camera, where I moved the plant to pose it, and my bad eyesight.
