Well, it does not look fine. If you want to rehabilitate it, what I have recomended might work, might not. I would definitely contact the grower with pics. If this is one of the plants with the rotten roots from your other thread, I would complain for sure. Yes it is stressful for the plant to be shipped, but I do not feel that it should be going downhill so quickly. I do believe that misting could have been part of the problem, but it may very well have been ailing before it got to you. I wish you luck. If you do want to attempt to help the plant I suggest that you pour peroxide into the crown tonight, dust the crown with cinnamon when it is dried out, and put the thing in front of a fan ( a gentle breeze type setting). I am afraid that if you do not at least take these steps tonight, it will for sure be a goner. I also reccomend looking into some physan ASAP, as this plant will surely be needing all the help you can give it. If the roots are rotted, I would pour the mix over the medium and all also. Hope that helps.
