Columnea colombiana

I bought several different Columnea for my collection, most of them were just about dead on arrival. I don’t think they had root rot, I actually think it was the opposite – they just got too hot and dry during travel. The leaves were just a sloppy wet mess and fell to the floor immediately, but the roots seemed dry. Anyway, I took photos of everything as I opened them and sent in to Ecuagenera. The company was very good to me. Weekly I sent photos of all the Columnea and kept in touch. At the end of a month, there wasn’t much improvement and I was offered a refund – I put it toward another order of plants :) I kept the sticks of Columnea and have just waited patiently to see if any live. A few are finally showing signs of life after 8 weeks. I’m in WA state, day temps 75-85F and nights 50-60F.
