Hi I’m new in the Anthurium and I recently ordered a radicans x luxurians online from a Florida based website. Due to the extreme winter weather in Chicago last weekend and the delay of USPS (8 days on the way), even with winter protection (package came with two heating pad), the plant arrived very unhappy, see the photos on the day I open the package, two days later and 5 days later. When I open the box the soil was totally dry, so I cut of the most damaged leaf, soaked the pot in room temperature water, used damp moss to wrap the air root, then put it at a warm spot with indirect bright light spot under a plant light. For now all the leaves are brown, curly and crispy except for the mini one at the bottom, but the stem is firm and the air root seems fine. I haven’t check the roots in soil yet because I don’t want to give it more stress. Do you think it can bounce back? Is there anything else I can do to help the poor plant? Thanks!

    The longest heat pack I’ve seen is 72 hours. Your plant was in the freezing cold for several days. From experience, the freeze damage continues getting worse with time. I’ve tried saving some frozen plants. Thought all was looking good, but two weeks later, they were gone. 🙁
