When you repot into bark, you should soak the bark first and press faily well into the pot. Part of the problem is that the roots are not making very much surface contact to the bark. Then when you water, you need to soak the bark really well, so taking it to the sink and running a lot of water thru the plant is a good practice. Once the bark starts to wet easily, you won't have to run quite so much water thru the pot, but still taking the plant to the sink is a good idea.
