Zuri, I bought a bunch of seedlings (Vanadas, Catts, & Dens.) from the same e-bay seller. Some were really dried up and I already lost a few to rot or fungus. I used a finer bark mixed with perlite and charcoal. I also put some spagh. moss on top about a week ago.
I was over watering mine and now I'm using the skewer method. The pot feels like and dry but when you check the skewer, it's still wet inside. Just mist the top once in awhile but don't soak the whole plant until it is almost dry.
I lost a few leaves too at first but now the Dens. look like they are doing better. I think they will take time to adjust and make new roots. I find having the moss on top helps the roots form. Originally I didn't have the moss on top and the top of the mix dried up too much.
I will take a picture to show how the new roots are forming. Good luck to you
and me with the seedlings. I think we have a very long wait for them to be BS.
