Ok I figured it out! Taken the day of arrival. My first order. Some arrive tiny, some bigger than expected, some with offsets or multiple heads. Very random but usually do not arrive super tiny except my Romeo. Out of 14 plants in my first order 3 arrived with rot. Romeo was done. Dead. Monroe and Pearls were half rotten. Monroe was HUGE. But not well. It wont let me upload photos of those 2 for some reason. I was able to save the pearls but not the monroe. Romeo was replaced in my 2nd order. I thought I had saved the monroe so it was not replaced but i lost it. All are rooted with pretty decent roots considering. Photo of some roots included. Half are etiolated in the middle and all are dried up on the outer leaves. The middle will recover. Pull the deal leaves. Healthier than I expected. I suggest a grow light to acclimate them to light before attempting to move to real sun. Slowly. They were in the dark for 3 weeks. No water for 4 or 5 days then start with just a little and work your way up. They need time to rest and recover from transit. Shown are Strictiflora V Nova, Dead Romeo, Rotting Monroe, Ebony, Rainbow, Unguiculata, Honey Pink, Pink Champagne, Sunyan (sent with MANY offsets), greenovia (with offsets), and Laui i. All are alive and recovering well in filtered sun except the 2 rotted ones. The half rotten pearls I saved only 2 strings but they finally stopped rotting and rooted and are growing. In all i give them 8/10. 2 stars taken off for the dead plants. Can post a review of my 2nd order if needed.
