need a little advice with a new nep. n. eustachya

[cpbobby]

received this recently, doesn't look too spry.

I am guessing it is just angry from being shipped maybe? also the leaves seem a little flimsy so im guessing this is where the phrase 'harden off' comes from? I moved it to a more humid section of my chamber underneath some foliage of some of it's big brothers.

additional thoughts? suggestions?

Looks bad...real bad. I found this species to be fickle, never truely made it happy, but it seemed to do best in really high humidity, warm temps and moderate light levels.

think i should bag it?

I remember when I first rcd a northiana, it looked kinda like that but bounced back however the leaves were thicker though.

I would bag it just to be sure. Recently I've started to bag all my new plants and continue to do so as the results are clear.

update:

It looks rough but seems like it is getting used to and accepting my conditions. As you can see there is a healthy new growth coming out now. The plant looks like it just abandoned that particular leaf and made a new one so hopefully it is moving forward.

Either way it is my hope that after 2-3 new leaves that I can remove the bag.

thx for the advice and lmk what you think:

update:

It appears to be turning itself around and adapting to my conditions. 1 more leaf and I will remove the bag to officially call it done.

thanx for the help everyone.
