Hi everyone,

I would highly recommend if you get a Heli that seems to be soft to give it 100% humidity. I placed clear cups on top of each Heli and left them in the tank. An hour later all of them were standing up. I also dropped the temp by 5 degree or so. I believe that the Helis were growing in an extremely high humidity. I did e-mail BCP but he did not respond but I did some research and learned if your Heli is soft then it was def. grown in a high humid climate.
I am going to leave the cups on top of the helis for about 2-3 weeks. Then, I am going to gradually increase the temp and decrease the humidity.
I just wanted to share this with everyone so that your Helis will survive after you receive them in the mail. I am hoping that all my plants will survive now. I believe they will. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me. Thanks

I forgot to mention that I did save all my domes(from when I bought my Sars from Lowes) and ironically i placed some of my helis in there. The "dome of death" does not apply to all CP's b/c my helis love the dome lol

i heard somewhere that heli's dont acclimate well to lower humidity and that they enjoy 100% humidity, i think because since they live in really high elevations then its much more humid. but i have no experience with helis so i don do much help...
