"I think he is saying he was looking for answers that night, and the nursery was closed so it was too late in the day to call and get the answers he needed."

Well, of course, but plants will not have cardiac arrests or other conditions that requires an answer within minutes or hours. Calling the seller back the next day, or even better, taking the plant back to him for advice within a few days--could yield better results than asking for an opinion online.

The seller presumably knows the past care of the plant, the soil and the conditions it was kept in up until the sale. All these are extremely important and we have no knowledge of.
