It could probably use to be repotted, (clean away any dead roots) and you can cut off the dried flower spike. But if you’re concerned about the yellow leaf, you probably don’t need to be. It’s not unusual for older leaves to gradually yellow and dry, eventually falling off. One, even two a year is probably nothing to worry about.

Too much light. I have a few orchids all in the shade. I have one massive vandy that is 7 years old and she does then when sun makes it to her
