After the initial transplant (nice and deep), I wouldn't continue laying the plant on the soil.. It isn't necessary to continuously encourage adventitious rooting as by now the root system is well on it's way.. You're just begging for a foliar disease by continuously laying those leaves on the soil (possibly contacting bacteria and fugal spores).. It's common practice to prune the lower 2-4 nodes in order to keep the leaves from directly contacting the soil.. First order of business IMO would be to cage and stake that plant in order to get it off the ground.. But kudos on the mycorrhizae mix - I use the same amendments..
