They could be in shock. Give them some superthrive if you have it and keep in the shade til they perk back up. They should look better soon. Once they are adjusted they will perk up and grow. By one of them gone what do you mean? Shriveled or missing or dead?

Shriveled. Out of 6 plants one of them still has leaves. When I got the package it had a big dent in it and my heart sunk then. I have bought plants before from the same person, so I know he packages them very well. Hopefully all will turn out.

It is really heart breaking when plants that just arrived...do not make it and there was nothing you could have done. Maybe the person would replace them if you let him know?

I sent him an email today and I guess I will find out what he has to say. I am just wondering on the moisture. Should I let them dry or keep them moist?

You should remove the foliage if they are stressing. It's not the end if they shrivel. They can die back to the soil line and still send up new shoots as long as there's some healthy tissue under the soil. It sounds like they might have gotten waterlogged and root rot could have set in. You could gently lift one and see what condition the roots are in. I'd certainly call the seller and see what they say. If you are sent more plants don't soak them in water unless they're unrooted cuttings. Just post them up, water in once with some Superthrive and/or B1, put them in a warm place out of direct sun and let the top of the soil dry a bit before watering again. Soil that's too wet will suffocate your plant. It needs to put out the fine feeder roots then it can handle and will actually need a lot of water. Good luck.
