Just recieved this Bangkok Sunset in the mail. Can it be saved?

The plant will be fine. I see good roots, and plenty of leaves. The leaves aren't pretty... nursery conditions may have been on the rough side but it got plenty of light. The flowers didn't survive the shipping, but that's pretty normal. Keep the plant well hydrated (you may need to put it in a pot with large bark, your humidity is probably not as high as what the plant was raised in. ) If you do that, just drop the whole thing into the pot (basket and all) and put some bark around the basket. Any attempt to remove it from the basket will seriously damage the roots that it needs. Give it warmth and light as bright as possible, and wait for flowers next year.

BTW, those purple spots are just normal in plants that got good light. Not all of them present that but some do, especially those with purple/red/orange/yellow flowers.

First time ordering online, never seen one look like that. I will do everything you said. Thank you very much!
