Hi everyone! I need some advice. I got a plant in the mail and I really messed up not buying an extreme heat pack for it. Is there any hope for this new plant that has suffered from cold travel? Thank you in advance.. I feel sick about this🥲

Oopphhh that's rough. It's hard to cut these back like a normal petiole plant. You could just care for it like normal, and hopefully the center is fine, and it will push out some new growth. Someone else may have better thoughts on pruning or heading it. Id definitely remove anything that starts to get soft

Im in cold ass WA. I cant tell you how many times I've shipped plants in and we get a cold snap. Or hell ill get used to sellers that automatically add in heat, and I get a dead plant because I didn't double check. It happens.
