It is because your flower is aging, naturally, and like all flowers, will not last forever. They fade and fall off. Totally normal.

With good care, your plant will develop a new flower spike in a year or so.

What a beautiful flower! Sometimes, after the old flower falls, new buds will eventually form on the stem where there is a node and you will get more flowers. If the stem dies, it should begin a new inflorescence after a cooler period.

Welcome, harshadeep! That is a lovely plant. To learn how best to care for it, there is a thread in this forum called "The phal abuse ends here". It is a "sticky" at the top of the forum. There is a wealth of information about just what you need.The Phal abuse ends here.
