I got an orchid for Valentine’s Day, but some of the leaves seem a bit off. This is my first flower, and I’m a beginner—please help.

I think I had a similar problem to what you had and I just repotted and re-soiled my flower and gave it water maybe yours just needs some water? Unless you’ve already tried that then I might not be sure. I’m not an expert but willing to help
