Ah! A yellow leaf! This is the third one (2 newer and one larger one) in 3 months after repotting.. I had done some research and repotted after I noticed some mold in the moss of the orginal pot, suspecting root rot and the moss wouldn't dry due to poor drainage. I did my best to cut off the bad looking roots which was alot, it was fully planted in moss so I switched it to bark. About a month ago I noticed it was starting to grow a new stem. I cut off the leaves once they had no more green to try and have the plant redirect its energy to the healthy parts of the plant. Noticed this yellow/browning leaf yesterday but I also noticed it seems to have new roots growing.. do I do anything different? This is my 2nd plant/first orchid 😅 thanks in advance.

    I would be concerned normally- but based on this zoomed in image, it looks like a lot of roots and potentially the flower spike, is breaking through the base of the leaf. This can cause so much damage to the leaf structure that it yellows and falls.

    If you think you did away with all of the root rot, and that the infection didn’t go into the core of the plant, you should be fine continuing on with the care you’re giving. If you have doubts, you might wanna check the base of the plant and make sure there’s nothing mushy on the stem itself.

      Hi Jen, thanks so much for your advice. No mush that I could find. I do have springtails in another plant. Should I attempt to throw a few in this orchids bark just in case..?

      You can, but it’s not necessary. They may make their way there on their own, in their own time.

    Did you remove the yellow leaf? I have the same issue. Mine is still on plant.

      I removed it once it was fully yellowed because I assume it won't absorb nutrients/sunlight as well. Idk if that's recommended though
