Will do, my Royal flush split rock, Nettie, was locked in a cardboard box and somewhat bruised from some succulent store on Amazon…

She was in that box from California to Florida for about a week! I’m nursing her back to happy…

stop omg! don't tell me it was california tropicals. i bought a string of frogs / creeping oak and it arrived SOAKED, and somehow the leaves had dried out?? it took months to make her happy again

It was a place called “succulents box” that’s what it says on this generic care sheet that would probably kill a split rock…🙄
