I want to cross the leaves

I want to arrange the leaf mesh in a cross shape like in the second image.
In the leaf - skin - leaves menu, checking cross only changes the shape to a cross pattern, but it doesn’t actually overlap them.
In another post, I read that duplicating the leaf node and setting the orientation to 0.5 can achieve a crossed layout, but it becomes difficult to edit later.
Is there a simpler way to do this?


Make a custom mesh in maya or blender for free, you can use custom/imported meshes for these things
