Monnierara Millenium Magic Witchcraft in bloom and losing leaves now

[Michelle15]

I purchased a Monn. Millenium Magic Witchcraft last weekend at an orchid show. It has 2 spikes, one in full bloom and the other had buds, now starting to open. It only had 2 leaves that were very light green, and since bringing it home they've turned yellow and one has fallen off. I read that they can lose leaves during or after blooming but everything I read made it seem like that happens much later in the year than now.
So once it is done flowering and the other leaf falls off (which I guess will be soon from the looks of it) do I let it go dormant even though it will be spring? Or do I water and fertilize it and then wait until fall for the normal dormancy time?

The plant is going dormant now. Since the other leaf is yellow, stop the watering even while in bloom.

Some of mine are never dormant very long. Clo Gracie Dunn just finished blooming and I was putting it in the dormant pile and it already has two tiny new growths.

Always let your plant tell you what it is doing, not the other way around. If its going dormant, then stop watering.

Thank you both for the help.
