So my Standleyana seems to have taken to it fairly well... the Persian Shield on the other hand was completely wilted when I woke up today.

I’m sorry both weren’t immediate successes, but it looks like Persian Shield is just a delay.  
And with that being said, I’m not ready for this process. How would I have known it needed more humidity?  
But it looks like you got this. To be continued…
