Yeah.  Some are flat against the soil now.

Like 3-4 roots coming out of the plant, maybe an inch long.  I planted
them correctly.  :)

I brought them inside a few days ago, but they seem to be getting worse.

Unfortunately, no. I had such a hard time getting Bluebird to do anything
for me, but then we finally got on the same page and they let me order
