Anyone know how I can help this orchid? I got it this weekend from a plant store and it was severely dry. I put it in orchid bark and watered it and it started getting this yellowing. What can I do to help?

That looks like it might be a sunburn; try reducing the light a little. As for watering, watch the pseudobulbs for signs of shriveling. It's also normal for this type of orchid to occasionally let the oldest bulbs die back; they use the nutrients stored there for new growth

Thank you!! I’ll move it a bit from the window!

I did notice one bulb had some shriveling
