Can I see the condition of the soil?

#### Cayla replied on 2025-03-02

I just repotted it. It’s was in dry soil. I think the condition is from not watering.

I see it’s pushing out a new leaf you could try to help it come out with a wet Q-tip but watch a YouTube tutorial if ur unsure also I would cut off that one yellow leaf

#### Honestorchid replied on 2025-03-02

Just don’t cut it off at the base

Thank you so much h. I did but off the yellow one. I also did help the other leaf come out. I repotted it as well. So hopefully I can keep her alive!

Looks like some sunburnt leaves. Give it plenty of water and make sure it's not placed too bright
