Hi 🙋‍♀️ I’m Reye! This is my first post on here. I recently got a Florida ghost plug, and it was really really wet in the soil after being shipped (took 7 days). The other plant that was soaked has already died in less than 24 hours. This ones leaves started curling and I have tried to just not mess with it at all so far

I haven’t had issues with my other philos in my nursery. Am I doing something wrong specifically with this baby or could it have been from getting too wet? The seller wants to try to send me a different one, and I’m willing to try again with more opinions on care

-In a terrarium with a consistent 55-60% humidity with airflow, with grow lights 12inches away.

Could be the stress from shipping and being wet for a week. How did the roots look when you switched the pot?

The roots looked okay, it just seems like it was from shipping I think :(

Yeah, just gotta nurse it back to health. Don’t give up hope. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery 🤞🏻
