I am a little worried about this Rafflesiana I just picked up. It looked a little rough but I felt up to the challenge. I am unable to see the growing tip clearly, I think it is in there just very short. One of the leaves looks to be curling and reddening. Hoping for any help getting this guy to grow well and healthy! Thanks!

It looks fine to me. Lowlanders grow extremely fast so will regrow more leaves in no time.

Since it's acclimating, I would bag it. You can't see the growing tip because it's still kind of wrapped up in the petiole, but will grow out soon.
