Need Help With My Orchid (newbie)
Default Need Help With My Orchid (newbie)

Hi all, I bought this orchid more than two years ago for my girlfriend (now fiancee). It means a lot to me and I'm worried about it.

The short story:

The blooms died and fell off shortly after buying it. I did some basic research and ended up cutting the spikes down completely (they seemed dead). I also repotted it into the Phal Classic Orchid Mix from re-pot me (I believe this is a Phal, but not sure... got it at Trader Joe's).

Unfortunately, it has never spiked since this all happened

However, throughout the process it has grown new roots and new leaves. That being said, every time a new leaf develops the bottom most one seems to sort of shrivel near the stem of the plant, split, and turn yellow like it's about to die. This has happened a few times and I end up cutting that leaf off.

I'm not sure what to do at this point and hoping for some advice. I really want to get this orchid to thrive, please help!

Here are some photos I just took after removing it from the pot and material:

Ugh, for some reason I'm getting an error when trying to include the pictures :-(
