Louise, yes there is a "waiting" queue where photo's are held until one of the database moderator's approves it. I don't see the Cryptanthus in that waiting queue and it's not on the Cryptanthus page either so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe you can try again? If it gets uploaded twice we can submit a proposal for one to be deleted.
Cryptanthus is pretty easy to repot ... find a wider pot and just stick them (and any of the new little babies) all around on top of the soil; just gently press them into the soil.
