Etsy buy

A couple of people have been posting their assortments from Etsy so figured I would share mine. Each of the potted plants was wrapped securely in layers of tissue paper with polyfil tucked and around the leaves and crown of the plants. The leaves came loose in a cocoon of tissue paper.

​ Unfortunately I will probably lose a few leaves but I'm not sure I can blame the seller for that as USPS took a roundabout route to get them to me (Sacramento➡️Dallas➡️Nashville?➡️Dallas➡️Central TX over 8 days).

I did a cursory check for pests and saw one fungus gnat in the sempervivum but otherwise they seem to be fine. I'll be quarantining them and reintroducing them to grow lights; if anybody has any tips on timing the reintroduction after a week of them being in the dark I'd appreciate it!
