Plant accidentally fell :(
So accidentally, my #Aglaonema Rotundum fell. The plastic pot didn't break, but the plant, roots and all, fell out of the pot.
First I was so scared I thought the best idea was to just put everything back into the pot, but then I considered it was in contact with the floor, so that wasn't the best idea.
I then cleaned another pot - a bit bigger, and it was almost time for a change in the pot size anyway - prepared a soil mix similar to the one it came in, and, well, had to repot it.
This all happened very quickly, and I was worried, but now I'm looking at it - no leaves were broken, nor any roots as far as I could see - and wondering if I should have done something else?
The only possible issue I can see is that when it was repositioned, I noticed the "tip" of a root coming out of the top. I covered it with soil and continued with the normal procedure.
Since the plant is small - it was in a 4'' pot, moved to a 5'' one - I'm worried there's something else I should be doing. I want to make sure it survives.
Any tips? :(

Ah! It is gorgeous! You did everything I would have done, like @PleaseLeaf said it might look rough (and then again maybe not; I never know when and which plant is gonna throw a fit when repotted) for a while. Either way, I think you'll be okay! Keep us updated!! :)
Update: he seems to be doing alright so far!
