I just received my prayer plant today. The dirt is frozen...

Last watered 1 month ago
Congrats on your new baby! If itβs frozen, let it come to room temp before we start care. Just trying to eliminate any more shock. Then Iβd start w addressing the drainage to make sure the roots have nice air flow :)! Iβd wait to see if you need to water and leave the plant somewhere to acclimate for awhile. Calathea love high humidity and bright indirect light where it will be dark at night (helps with their nighttime routine, I forget the scientific name). Best of luck!! Iβm hoping itβs just minor frost damage and the plant will bounce back in your care!! :)
@YokeCarobtree30 I am so sorry about your plant. I really hope you get a compensation. Calatheas do not tolerate frost, so if the roots were frozen I am afraid it will not make it. The leaves are gone for sure.
But, if you have managed to check the roots and there still are some that are yellow and healty and not brown/black, it might be able to regrow from the roots. My Yellow Fusion survived the mail because the roots had not completly frozen and it was able to regrow. But it will take timeπͺ΄
