I repotted this in the spring and just a week or so ago I had 5 new leaves. Today I see that it is squishy at the base. Can it be saved if I just cut away the squishy? And what would cause this! TIA

Oh no! You might have a drainage issue. Maybe the roots are too wet. If you still have some good leaves you could prune the gross stuff.

They like a chunkier soil. Maybe add some orchid bark. This can help with drainage and ensure it doesn’t get waterlogged. A lot of soil straight out of a bag isn’t going to meet every plant’s needs. There are a lot of YouTube videos that will show you how to create specific mixes - starting with the base of potting mix from the nursery
