Hello everyone,
I recently recieved a new nep in the mail from a generous individual, but I need a bit of help with it. The plant was somewhat stressed prior to shipping and when I recieved it the edges of the leaves were a bit mushy and black. Since then the mushyness has gone away ecxept on a growth point but the leaves continue to decay from the edges. I've only had the plant for about a week so I expect it to be in shock but not to continue decaying. The parts of the plant that are green and least damaged seem healthy enough. The plant gets high humidity and bright artificial light. I guess in short what I'm asking is, is this decay due to damage or disease that could spread and what to do about it?
here are some pics
Thanks
joe
