Ionopsis Utricularioides dropping leaves

[SarinahL]

Hi all!


I'm completely new to this species. I've had it for 2,5 months now, it's putting out a new root. It's in a quiet spot, 15-20 average temperature, average 85-95% humidity.
Roots are all looking good.
Today, it suddenly dropped two leaves, I heard them fall when I was sitting on the couch. It's in a secluded spot, no touching, falling or budging is possible or has happened to my knowledge.

The two leaves were mature, are completely green, also at the base, and the remaining part on the plant looks entirely healthy too. No drying, no discoloration, no softness or visible fungus or rot. Air movement is okay, no drought. They just broke clean off!

What the...?

Do you have a cat? otherwise I have no answer for you. They should turn yellow before falling off. Maybe step up the water a bit. Just a guess. Good luck.
