Does everyone have these leaves fall off just before or during the new growth, I have never noticed any leaves falling off my plants unless i break them off, some of my phals look like overweight vanda seedlings. Anybody else have funny looking phals like that.

Most of my phals will lose leaves all by themselves after they turn yellow, usually when there's new growth, but I do have one that is hanging on to it's leaves. It has 12 so far, while the others phals average 6-7.
Just curious, why would you break leaves off?
