Im pretty much sure it was cold damage....a photo attached of one of the better ones....on opening the box they seemed not too bad, but over the course of the day, the leaves were obviously ruined on most. They have been in the propagator overnight, and most of the leaves are now showing the extent of the damage....I think I will remove all but the undamaged growth, and see if the do grow again from the stems and crown...some of which 'appear' to be fine. I think a lesson learnt here on winter orders.... and I emphasise it was not the sellers fault, .....I dont think I'll have any luck with any leaves to root, they are beyond help...shame, Episcias are very difficult to find in Europe. Maybe , in the spring when its warmer Ill re order if they dont pull thru.
