Orchid Appreciation

Orchadia is the first plant I ever got. I'm amazed at her growth & how she's just not stopping. My only concern is the yellowing/browning of the bottom leaves, some have fell off also. What could be the reason for this? Other than that she is thriving!! Blessings โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’– #MiniPhalaenopsisOrchid #OrchidLovers #Orchid #OrchidProblems

@SUNSHiNEPLANTS Hi SSG, hope you are well and having a nice day.
It looks like the bottom and oldest leaves so it nay just be Orchadia shutting down some leaves in order to pit her energies elsewhere. I would be more concerned if she wasn't growing or if it was over leaves. So unless there is something else, I wouldn't be too concerned. If the rest of her looks great and is growing, then just remove the yellow leaves or wait a bit longer till they are brown, they fall off anyway after time.
Did I introduce you to Miss Orchid Girl? She talks about yellow leaves having 15 causes

She is a great resource, I found.
The only other thing is if your are giving Orchadia some fertilizer can always be a boost in the growing season, Orchid Fertilizer is best!
So if Orchadia is thriving, enjoy! Until next time have fun with your plants
(I just added a red prayer plant, similar to your green one I guess. I hope yours is doing well, mine is currently possessed ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿ‘ฟ)
