# Out of nowhere I had a leaf dies on my and I’m not sure why that…

_Posted by Irtsyakal on 2023-09-12_

Out of nowhere I had a leaf dies on my and I’m not sure why that happened. I have I feeing a should report but not really sure what kind of soil it best to use. Any advice?

It’s hard for me to tell, but is that green tie digging into the leaf’s stem? It could be what caused the leaf to die.

Even if it isn’t… best tying process is to tie the stem, only, to your support… not petioles, not leaves, just the main stem. (And not tightly)

I agree with manda if the tie is too tight. Otherwise… some leaves just get old and die on plants sometimes. But it looks like some of the other leaves are turning yellow? That would indicate a different problem if so.

A really chunky mix is best. You can find some really good ones on Amazon :)

I use 1 part perlite, 1 part sphagnum moss, 1 part orchid bark and my pink princess is doing well
