Unhappy Phal leaves yellowing?!

I noticed that my new phal has sone leaces that are hidden under some bigger leaves. They dont seem to get light and are getting thin feeling, yellowing, and look wrinkly. Any suggestions?

I will post pics when I get home. I cant upload pics from my phone unfortunatly!

If they're the older bottom leaves that are yellowing it might be just normal leaf shed. Pictures will help.

just old leaves.. when they ready you can pull em right off..dont rip em off but let them loosen up some and they come right off.

you know why they turn yellow other then being old?

They are giving back the nutrients to the plant. When they turn completely yellow the leaves pretty much done giving back

Yup, just normal old leaves preparing to fall off. They'll fall off on their own at some point. I wouldn't surprised if you saw a new leaf growng soon, Phal tend to replace dropped leaves with a new one.
