Got the basket back indoors, indirect light, 4 look ok, 4 more have some color and pliability. They got a light mist.

The rest, dry, a couple straw-like, but on most they're dry and the root ends are blackened. They got the leaf-down soak.

They're all in a big glass container that once held a failed terrarium, on paper towel, lid off so there's air circulation.

Phase 2, they get misted next Monday and the worst-affected plants checked for signs of life.
