my orchids leaves are dying what should I do?

[SlipperGirl]

I cut my orchids leaves off about half way and put it in its bag it was doing ok but now its leaves are yellowing and coming off. Did I do something wrong? Please help me.

Here are some pics of this plants in the bag this is before its leaves started coming off.

Was the bagged Phal sitting where the sun would hit the bag? Did you keep the bag open so you had air exchange in the bag?

No the phal was not sitting in the sun. I have holes in the bag so I don't keep it open.

I should also say that it started losing the leaves after we moved, so it probably got stressed but I did not think it would lose its leaves. After the move they have not had as much air circulation could have made it lose its leaves?

I dont know why the leaves are coming off but I put it in a bigger bag because the one it was in looked small.

Did you bag this due to lack of roots?

Yes, I did in hope that it will grow some new roots

It's probably dropping foliage due to lack of roots.

Here are some pics of the orchid in a bigger bag.

I really have no experience with this method Hopefully some other members can help out!

The media looks pretty dry in the first pic. It should be moist, but not dry and definitely not soaking wet. Have you tried giving it some seaweed based fertilizer or KLN? That stuff works really well for getting root stimulation and Ray sells a lot if you can't find it locally. https://www.firstrays.com/cgi/cart/c...exact_match=on
