Receiving & Unboxing Your Clones
Your clones have been carefully packaged to survive transit. Follow these steps immediately upon arrival to ensure they recover quickly and thrive.
Step 1: Inspect the Package
Before opening, check the exterior of the box for any signs of damage. If the box is severely crushed or wet, photograph it before opening — this helps with any claims if needed.
Step 2: Open Carefully
Use scissors or a box cutter along the tape only — never cut deeply into the box. Remove packaging materials gently and locate your clones.
Step 3: Assess Your Clones
Some wilting is completely normal after transit. This is caused by darkness, CO₂ buildup, and humidity fluctuations during shipping. Do not panic — this is temporary.
Step 4: Rehydrate Immediately
Place clones in a warm, humid environment (70–80% RH) right away. Mist the leaves lightly with pH-balanced water (6.0–6.5 pH). Do not water the medium heavily at this stage.
Step 5: Give Them Time
Allow 12–24 hours in a humidity dome under gentle light before making any judgements. Most clones will perk up significantly within this window.
What to Expect
- Slight leaf droop — normal, resolves within 24 hours
- Minor yellowing on lower leaves — normal, remove cleanly
- Soft stems — normal, will firm up once humidity stabilises
