The plant mentioned above is doing well. Its terminal leaf was drooped over and had to be supported to prevent permanent damage when it was received and put in to S/H. It has slowly become able to support itself. Today when checking plants and watering I noticed it has improved to the point where the leaf is able to support itself.
Again, this is NOT a claim that S/H provided the environment to allow this. It IS a good thing though and I am glad that S/H did not cause it to deteriorate.
Most of the plants I have in S/H are now being allowed to have a bit of retained water in the bottom of the pots. Only one, a phrag, does not seem to have had good root response. I may have to unpot and clean it up. Others are still at the point where the roots have not shown themselves either and so I cannot claim complete success although most are showing new leaf growth.
