Since the plants shipped to Cali are usually in perlite do we allow them to acclimate in there or what would be a care tips since they're usually shipped bareroot?

I am in Cali as well. From my experience with new NWE plants shipped in 'perlite' to Cali, ideally let them acclimate to their new home for about 2 weeks. Since the plants are in perlite, I tended to water them more frequently during that period. After about 2 weeks, the plants were still happy, healthy, and actively growing, so I potted them up in my preferred mix. Clear growing containers are helpful and allow you to monitor for new root growth, and soil condition/moisture.
Best of luck with your new plants!

As for the bare root items, I didn't see any shock or leaf drop on my variegated fiddle leaf from NWE. I totally thought it would struggle and loose leaves. They can be so temperamental! I potted it up immediately in a recommend mix and so far it hasn't skipped a beat. Just looking for new growth. It was so big, I couldn't use a clear container on this one. But it's happy. A little surprise for my wife this holiday season. She likes fiddle leafs and knows I am a variegated nut. It's should be super happy by December. 🤙🌱. Thanks NWE!
@Autumn bare root plants you want to pot in an aroid mix right away. Water keep warm and after about 2 weeks place where you want them to live and they should be good to go!
perlite plants from us you want to keep in perlite for 1-2 weeks and water daily (if humidity is lower then 70%) after that time pot in your favorite substrate ☺️
hope this helps!!!
@jonathan GOT IT!! Thank you
