Oof. Telipogoniflora even.
So for the past couple months, I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these two plants. Put in a fan, (thanks Bill), upgraded my lights, and everything. Box gets in today, I rip it open like a kid at Christmas, and this is how they looked. I blurred out the tags to avoid any issues with violating the feedback rules.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pics, but one of the plants was entirely dessicated. The other looked like there was still some moisture retained in the leaves, but still pretty wilted. The other three pics show what the plants looked like after being rehydrated and left in my viv for a couple of hours. The better off of the two seems to have improved somewhat, but is still extremely limp compared to the healthy one I already had growing in the tank. Just want to know what, if any, is the best course of action to get these plants through their convalescence. Pretty sure the wilted one is a lost cause, but it seems like there is still hope for the better off of the two. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
