I live in a pretty hot, dry climate and somewhere along the line I learned from this forum (maybe when it was on Cubits?) that an overnight soak is a good idea; and ever since I've always soaked my plants overnight after I receive them. I immerse them up to the crowns and put them outside on a table, and by the next day the ones that looked pretty dry have perked up. But the small REALLY REALLY dry ones usually don't make it past the first month or so here. And after reading all this I would NEVER order from Wild's! I have a group of wonderful, reliable hybridizers and vendors that I purchase from, and it seems like I'm never disappointed. And the couple of times that I have been disappointed in the past were through the Lily Auction, and I just make sure I never purchase from those sellers again.
