Stressed Plant
Hi guys! So I got this Adansonii sent to me yesterday from Florida to NY, it had a hot pack. I assumed it was limp from moving stressed, however, it's today and it hasn't perked up. I haven't done anything to it, should I just let it be and wait for it to or take action? I dont want to be too late if i do have to. #adansonaii

I like to be sneaky and pull a new baby out of the pot so I can look at (and sniff) the roots too. She’s probably ok but roots should be white and yellow, and firm.
Also when did she ship? Those hot packs are usually good for three days (I hate it when sellers ship plants at the end of the week).
In my opinion WORST CASE is you lose some of the leaves but she bounces back in time! 🌱☀️❤️

I can’t be sure from the picture, but it doesn’t look like there’s any soil in the pot? If there isn’t, def make sure to have some type of substrate covering the roots. 50/50 potting soil and perlite would be ideal, but just about anything will work. If you do have to add potting mix, lightly water it and then leave it alone in indirect light & it will be good in a few weeks. They just have to get used to your environment!
@RootedFS and @PlantMompy I didn't notice that at first, you're both right there's virtually no soil and it looks really cramped in that pot.
What do you think @PlantMompy I feel it should it be re-potted

Ideally you give it a couple weeks before a repot, unless your plant is really stressed.
You could add soil into the pot to hold you over for 2-4 weeks and then repot. If it doesn't seem to help or gets worse you can reassess.
