Phal Leaves Yellowing and falling off
I just can't seem to get this right! I bought a Phal from Hausermann's and it was delivered on March 7th. Everything looked good, and i've had a few of the buds open (its so purdy) anyways, a leaf fell off. it yellowed around the crown. I know leaves fall off, it happens. Then a second one. And now a third one is starting!! (there's only 4 leaves!) The buds seem to be ok, there might be one blasting on it. Anyways, in the second picture you can see a blackening spot. Someone on reddit suggested it might be stem rot. I didn't repot yet, cause it was still blooming, but now im considering it! I have everything to repot it. What do you think? I went with a Hausermanns orchid cause i was tired of the grocery store phals dying of crown rot! I've only watered this a handful of times (when the roots have silvered), and ive watered from the bottom. If i recall, I may have attempted the top first time but i got so nervous about the crown, i went from below. I'm sad i'm killing all these babies!
