I think it’s transplant shock but Ivory is browning and drooping. I’m beginning to become anxious. Not because she was $60 but because she’s also growing a new leaf. What do I do? The browning is worsening by the day.

How are the roots? Also, what kind of soil is it in? Could be a moisture issue

#### Kay replied on 2026-07-27

Indoor potting soil mixed with perlite and orchid mix. The roots are lively

#### McKenzie replied on 2026-07-27

Is the browning only on one leaf or is it spread across the entire plant? It’s possible it could be some sort of fungal issue or localized infection if it’s on a single leaf

2/3

It looks like sunburn to me which could also be fertilizer burn. Are those possibilities?

Oh my god it could be. I have Miracle-grow indoor tropical plant food.  
I used 1 time on Ivory when I repotted her.  
Either fertilizer burn or transplant shock.  
Good news tho -  
I’ve learned to leave her alone 🥹
