Hello, I hope you are well.
I got a cephalotus online not long ago. It arrived in my city yesterday, where it would've been in shipping for 8 days if i got it then. However, the next two days are holidays so the post office isn't working, meaning I'll only possibly get it November 3rd. It'll be in a box for 11 days. Is that alright for a ceph? I'm not familiar with how long they can go without any light.
It's comming potted, and it's listed as a Large plant.
Thank you!

Lack of light isn't so much of a concern as is whether it will stay damp and what temperatures it is being exposed to. Regardless, once it arrives it will be really slow to acclimate itself to its new environment. The best word of advice I can give you is to take pictures of it as you are unboxing it. That way you have some evidence as to the condition it was in when it arrived.
