Yea, I have a few gallon baggies on my back porch that are all rooted... next step is transitioning. I have done it before with a larger plant, but I would think these will be done the same. Very very slowly. Poke holes, wait a week, poke more holes... is that too slow?
also, I got the larger plant (bumblebee) in the mail and it was inside a bag with lots of humidity during shipping.. it got acclimated during shipping and dropped it's leaves after I took it out of it's bag and potted it. I had no idea what was happening so I took the advice of a member on here and put the baggie back over the container ... it eventually came back to life and from there i slowly acclimated it properly.

Well my humidity tent isn't much as I still have to mist 4-5 times a day. So I figured since they can handle some indoor dryness between mistings, that they can handle the shade outdoors with 60-70% humidity. I hope...

They are looking a little droopy. Lost about five leaves. I saw no blacking of the stem. But I'll check them better tomorrow when I have time.
I haven't had time to place any in water but I hope it's not to late. I plan to do two or three tomorrow after work.

Those do not look happy. I hope you have got it fixed. They need water and humidity, look at how the leafs are curling up. This plant love water and humidity. In the wild they often grow on riverbanks and get peiodically submerged. I often water them so that there is some water standing in the tray below the pot. Also spraying dont do so much for humidity, better to have some water standing in the bottom of the tote.
If they dont look good now, post a pic so we can give you some advice.

Great! I swear sometimes I could mess up a wet dream.
I had soaked the soil when I mixed it but had not watered them since... With all this rain I have completely forgot about watering. Plus I didn't think you were to water while rooting.

I removed the paper towels. I have about a inch of standing water in the bottom of the tote. Watered the plants. Lost about four more leaves.
Excuse the quality picture's. I ran out in the rain to fix them.

I hope they are not toast but I think they look worse.
I will take a better picture in the morning.
Thank you Mateo and Pinedown for the advice and alerting me that I had a problem. Yall Are the best!
Sorry y'all have had to hold my hand so much through this.
Edit: This Morning

Lost Two More Leaves.

Like the plant?
Or leaf?
I enjoy Kratom. It gives me energy and helps me stay awake when I need too.
I try not to go over board with it though.

I'm currently attempting to root some cuttings I just purchased!!! Super excited!
Why don't you buy some leaf to try out first?
I personally think the plant would be worth it!

Do you plan to grow it in the ground or can you grow it in the ground where you live? Bublebee is probably the best variant to grow in the ground as it can handle cold better than other varietys.
If growing inside you can grow both Bumblebee and Indonesian variety. Why dont you look in our Marketplace if you want to get a Kratom plant.

I thought they would perk up a bit more. You do have holes in the bottom of the cups, right? Where you keep the tub and what is the temperature?

I do have slits cut into the bottom. Utility knife size. 3 in each.
When I picked them up Water drained off.
Should i try to make the holes bigger?
Under the shade of a tree. Should I find a more shady spot?
It's been raining since I got them. Temperature between 75 and 85.
The ones on the top side of the picture look a lot better than they did.

Frustrated Update..
Full View Of The Tub.
Back of the tub.
Middle of the tub.
 Front of the tub.
I added some more water to the bottom of the tub.
Checked and made sure all the cups had holes and water drainage when I lifted them. Dirt was soaked.
Removed three cuttings from the soil and placed in a cup of water.
Lost lots of leaves today. One cutting is completely leaf less now... What leaves are left seem to be uncurling.
Weather has been between 70 and 90. Raining off and on the whole time. Humid as the jungle outside and inside the tub.
The tub is under a tree behind a metal planter and only receiving maybe a hour or two of semi direct sunlight.
Am I crazy or do four of the Cutting's in the back of the tub look good?
The Cutting's in the front of the tub. Where the light comes in. Have taken the worst hit. Which makes me think they may be getting too much light?
Also what do you think about putting gallon Ziploc over them and slowly poking holes? Or is it too late for that?
I've given them a pep talk. I'm desperate and idk what else to do.
I'm trying to finish my green house but can't because of all the rain.
Considering eating some mushroom's then a kratom Leaf and seeking guidance.
Have sent money to TV Evangelists for holy water...
Maybe sell my soul?

Snakeeye,
I learned that the cuttings can not be exposed to sunlight or else it gets too hot in the tubs and it causes the leaves to wilt like yours are doing. Put it in 24/7 shade. They may drop those leaves, but I think the plant can still go on.
In other news, I just repotted my Bumble and Rifat in 30 gallon tubs! Oh they are going to be happy. The Rifat was starting to get rootbound in the 10gal.
