Nothing was secured in the tube, so everything was free to bounce from side to side and get crushed. My question is, are the plants still viable if I cut the stems below where they are bent, which is a couple of inches above the soil line?
I have nothing insightful to add. I am just so sad seeing your plants arrive like that!

Actually I will add this:

Unless a place has very good reviews, ask on this forum first. You'll get the scoop. I actually almost bought from FHN but I *did* see the mixed reviews elsewhere. So I asked here and was warned to stay the * * * * away. Alot of people had bad experiences with that place for various reasons. I'm actually surprised they're still in business. ...

Good luck with your plants!
