Is it normal for orchids old leaves to yellow, it’s been slow but I feel like the bottom leaves have slowly been yellowing and wrinkling. She seems happy since she just put out a new leave and is growing a Bud off of an old stem but I’m still worried.
Yes, as long as its only its oldest leaves. And it should take a looooong time for it to stop supporting the next set. If you notice yellowing any higher up, or the next ones start to yellow shortly after the current ones, I would investigate into other issues. But with all the new growth you’re having, it makes complete sense it would be putting energy into other places :) I like to wait until those yellow leaves are completely drained and very easily separate from the plant before I remove them.
