Should I worry about this? Female
Default Should I worry about this?

Morning, everyone!

My Eplc. Golden Sunburst decided it didn't want one of its leaves anymore, and I am just wondering if I should be worried about it or not. I'm not actually worried about it, but as this is my first Cattleya type, I just want to make sure. The rest of the plant seems completely happy and fine.

Do they do this normally? Is there a reason for it? Is there anything I should check out?

Thanks!

This could be normal. Mine of this type occasionally drop leaves and it doesn't seem to matter. Just an eye out for lots dropping and for problems in the p-bulbs.

Looks like it is an old leaf to me, probably off the oldest smallest growth so I would say this is normal. Don't worry about it unless the newer leaves start to drop.

That's what I figured, it doesn't seem to be doing worse or poorly, and that is the only leaf. The rest of the plant is strong and happy as can be, so...I also had it in the window w/o the lace earlier in the week and it was ~100 degrees in the window sill, I thought maybe it was burned and died or something. I'll just let it do its thing and remove the leaf when it's ready. Thanks, guys!
