Most of the leaves had been cut in half and they were green. The instructions were to place them in 4 inch pots filled with PEAT moss, not to water, place the whole thing in a plastic bag with a cup of water on the side to create a humid condition with 7 holes for breathing and keep them indoors. One week later the leaves were brown the trunk still had life so I wrote to the shipper the condition of the plants. They instructed me to water with vit. B but keep the plants in the baggy. Two weeks later one tree is dead. The leave have fallen from the second tree and they are bought still in the house. I REALLLLLYYYYY want the plant to thrive. Is there any suggestions? |
