My Clone Arrived in Poor Condition — What Should I Do? 🌱Updated an hour ago
We understand how frustrating it can be when your clone arrives looking stressed after transit. Because clones are live plants, shipping conditions and environmental changes can sometimes affect their appearance temporarily.
The good news is that many stressed clones recover successfully once they are properly acclimated.
What Shipping Stress Can Look Like
After delivery, clones may show temporary signs of stress such as:
Drooping or limp leaves
Yellowing foliage
Wilting
Dry growing medium
Leaning stems
Curling leaves
General weak appearance
These symptoms do not always mean the clone will fail to recover.
Immediate Recovery Plan 🌿
Please begin the following recovery steps as soon as your package arrives:
For the First 3–5 Days:
Remove clones from packaging immediately
Keep them indoors in a stable environment
Use low to moderate lighting at first
Avoid intense direct sunlight or overly strong grow lights
Keep the growing medium lightly moist, not soaked
Avoid overwatering
Do not add nutrients or aggressive supplements right away
Allow the clones time to rest and acclimate
Please continue monitoring your clones during this recovery period.
We have seen clones recover from significant shipping stress after a few days of proper care.
