Orchids can't handle water inbetween their leaves, this will cause rotting. Since in the picture i see water inbetween the leaves, that's what is causing it.

When you water you gonna make sure not to get it on the leaves, and when you do get it on the leaves you have to remove the water.

You can treat the rotting with hydrogen peroxide, spray it on the rotted areas and repeat every 2-3 days. Hopefully this will help
Orchids are exquisite plants, but they're particularly susceptible to rot if water gets trapped between their leaves. The image you provided seems to indicate this issue. When you water your orchids, it's crucial to direct the water toward the soil and avoid wetting the leaves. If any water accidentally lands on the leaves, gently pat them dry to prevent moisture buildup. Just like @Nathaliezyx4 has explained it must have water has caused the rotting To address the existing rot, you can employ hydrogen peroxide as a treatment. Dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide with water (1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 parts water) and use a spray bottle to apply this solution to the affected areas. Make sure to repeat this process every 2-3 days. Hydrogen peroxide helps by disinfecting and oxygenating the affected tissue, which can aid in halting the progression of the rot. @usere5cedd50 I would also suggest that your orchids are potted in a well-draining medium and placed in an environment with adequate air circulation. This will help prevent future instances of rot and promote overall orchid health. Regularly inspect your orchids for any signs of rot or excess moisture, and take timely action if you notice any issues.
