Racinaea crispa

The plant was wrapped well, but I am not sure how many days it was in transit because the tracking was not accurate. The plant arrived very dehydrated and limp. I wasn't sure it was going to survive and I am still a bit iffy. It did plump back up after a long soak. The mother plant is still a little floppy, which might be due to the fact that it has already bloomed and will go into decline. The travel might have exacerbated this a bit. There is an offset and it has survived the ordeal, so far. I have been watering it with pre-conditioned aquarium water and keeping it in a small terrarium. It seems to be improving, so I am very hopeful. This is not a good plant for folks who are new to air plants or bromeliads.

Sadly this plant did not recover from shipping.
