17+ days is just way too long in transit. Sorry, but it's beyond saving.

demand your seller send another ..

imo.. its dead ...

Poor little thing. It's over.

He's dead, Jim (ST reference). Yeah, this time of year, 17 days in transit is almost certain to be fatal, the USPS strikes again. Last week, I received some orchids that got lost (still no idea where they went) but they should have been delivered in 3 days, it was six, with no tracking between Oregon and Arkansas...they teleported (slowly?). Anyway, I was lucky, and boxes were probably not outside plus heat pack still oozing heat even after 7 days in box. Mine were fine (I was expecting thawing mush). Yours not so much :(

Thanks everyone! Yeah I’m super sad because I’ve always wanted a mini violet. I got a refund at least, but USPS is absolutely terrible. The seller was completely unapologetic. Wish I could’ve saved this one 😔

Just order when it's warm outside...like June. Btw, minis are typically less floriferious and a bit more fussy than standards. You're not really missing much (though most of mine are minis because of limited windowsill space).

If it helps, I got mine at a local nursery in the fairy garden plants.

Thanks for letting me know everyone! Really appreciate the advice 🤗
