I learned my lesson buying plants in winter. Any wisdom on if these plants will recover? Bromeliad, marcgravia red umbellata and st lucia. They all looked healthy when they came in and then quickly started looking like this.
yeah it started within about 24 hours, the marcgravias started losing leaves and shriveling over the course of a couple days.How quickly did they look like that? Cold damage usually shows up in about 24 hours. If it took longer it might be your conditions.
I got both of them in bags with moss and dipped their roots in rooting hormone. wish em luckThe middle Marcgravia is a goner. Does the bottom one have any roots?
You could try applying rooting hormone to both and then Sphag N Bag.
Good luck. Make sure to share the results!I got both of them in bags with moss and dipped their roots in rooting hormone. wish em luck
I think the problem was that it was over the holiday and it got delayed a day. If you do it just use 2 day shipping and you should be alright.Good luck. Make sure to share the results!
Was about to ship some plants and also have some plants shipped to me. Definitely having second thoughts right now.
