I got these two off Etsy and they came looking like this. I don’t think I’ll be shopping online there anymore but I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with them and what I can do to help.

I’ve had good luck getting plants off of Etsy. It really depends on what nursery they’re coming from. If you figure out what that is, let me know perhaps thrips damage.?

Ok thank you in the past I’ve also had good luck with Etsy so I decided to try out a new store and it didn’t go well

They can get yellow leaves inside the shipping box (no light) depending on the transportation time. Not much you can do about. Just give it good light and fertilizer. Verify the soil is dry before watering. 🪴🍀
