Yellower Leaves on Dendrobium Frosty Dawn New Growth - Orchid Board

I ordered a Dendrobium Frosty Dawn and when it arrived it came with a new growth. The newer leaves on the new growth seem to be yellower than the ones on the old growth. Is it due to stress from shipping or is it normal?

The new growth also looked like it hasn’t fully developed so I was wondering if it’ll ever start to grow again or if it’ll just stay partially grown forever.

Did it need to travel through a cold-weather area? It might be cold damage.

It traveled across the US, Louisiana to California, it did come with a heat pack that was still slightly warm when I got it. I’m pretty sure it traveled through a cold weather area and it took around 2/3 days to ship.

I think just be patient.,, the shipping process can be a bit traumatic but they do recover, it just may take a little while to do it As far as leaf color is concerned, very likely normal, again just be patient.
