Older pbulbs do drop their leaves at some point but usually turn yellow first. I think you REALLY need to get that plant out of that Miricle mix. This mix kills Phals and Catts like to dry out more than Phals. It would even be better to mount that plant if you can't find any medium. Or even hang it bare root in a humid area and water it a few times a day until you find something better. Do you have a Lowes near by? They sell a bark mix that is called Better-Gro Special Orchid mix. I have used it for some of my Catts and it's not a bad mix for being sold in a big box store. It is a mix of fir bark, charcoal and perlite. I just bought a new bag and it was $6. Some Home Depot stores carry it too but where I live I can only find it at Lowes. Otherwise I would buy some new medium online. That Miricle grow mix is too soil like and it is probably keeping your plant too wet and it is suffocating your plant. I think that is why it is dropping green leaves. So get it out of that mix! Good luck!
