1) Persian Brocade

2) guessing Cowardly Lion since we only see the backside and not the topside

3) looks too wet

4) It is Cowardly Lion - looks okay. Older leaves will yellow and fall off or dry up and stay on. Pick them off if you wish.

5) Persian Brocade is in too large a pot for now. Pot it down to a 3 inch pot or 4 inch at most until it perks up and puts on new growth and roots. Mine are in 6 oz drinking cups and have filled their containers. Here is an example of one of my Persian Brocade plants.

One of my Cowardly Lion plants (in a four inch pot)

Thanks so much! I'll repot the Persian Brocade as soon as I can, and also I've ordered a seedling heat mat, which should at least encourage root growth.

I've also gotten suggestions to propagate with a leaf cutting. Is that still likely to work, with the leaves as limp as they are?

I really wouldn't waste money on a heat mat unless your room is exceptionally chilly. Often heat dries them out faster and can also lead to rotting if the soil is wet. That's your call though.

A limp leaf will not root. You need to get the plant to perk up before using any limp leaves. If you do cut a leaf off, put it in a baggie to hopefully become "turgid" again before attempts at propagation with it.

Humidity will help a lot but if the roots are rotting it won't help at all. If that is the case you will need to pull the rhizome out (inspect it for rot too) and put it in a new "moist but not wet" potting mix if the rhizome is still intact. I've potted down (smaller size pot) when plants are not doing well and put a plastic cover over them (baggie, drinking cup, lettuce container, etc). Resist the urge to water until the plant starts putting out new growth (make sure the new soil is moist but not wet).

Often just repotting with fresh mix and an appropriate sized pot will work wonders. Don't worry too much about the leaves as new ones will come on if the plant is happy.

Ah... I'm not sure it even still has any live roots. All the roots are attached to the dead part of the rhizome.

And the heat mat has already been shipped, so it better not end up being a waste of money, considering I hardly make any money at all in the first place!
