Cocoa Tree Help

[Kevinator]

Hello everyone

Kevin here with a call for help. I recently ordered from Hirt's gardens and the shipment came in today. Three of the four plants came in well (cinnamon, Tacca integrifolia, and black pepper). Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for the cocoa tree. Any suggestions for first aid? The soil was pretty moist when it came in. The leaves is what I'm mostly concerned about. They were brownish green and close to drying.



UPDATE:

Now the cinnamon tree is drying up. The potting mix seems moist. When it came here, it was fine but after i let it out and put it under a shady tree outside the leaves started curling and drying up within hours. The drying has now spread all the way up to the new growth !!

Hmmm, I wonder if it's more cold sensitive than the other plants and perhaps the package got exposed to some cool temps during shipment.

If it's suffering from cold exposure, there might not be much you can do except for keep it warm and in a bright spot and hope that the roots and stems weren't damaged as badly as the leaves.

It looks like it got to cold for it during shipping, let it dry out before watering it again, keeping it warm and lots of light should help.
