Rootless Zygo--please help! Female
Default Update 01/03

My poor Zygo has started to lose leaves off its one still-plump pb. The leaves started to turn yellow and then brown--one fell off today and another is starting to look pale.
I am not sure what's causing this--possibly too little light? I have it in my north-facing windowsill, because I read that while a plant is recovering its roots, too much light can actually hamper it.

Is this a bad sign? I really want to save this plant. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

It's best to post photos to tell what's going on.

Here is one picture--for some reason I'm having issues uploading more. I'll see if I can get more uploaded tomorrow.
Thanks again

I'd remove the orchid from the pot, check the roots, downsize the pot, and use moss for now. It might pull through.

I'm not the most experienced Zygo grower here but I do believe it's not entirely uncommon for them to lose their leaves although I know things are different with an already unhealthy plant. However with that said I will raise the case of an Oncidium hybrid I have that I removed believed-to-be diseased bulbs leaving only two behind. The two I "saved" and repotted ultimately lost their leaves. The bulbs are VERY shriveled, and yet it's been growing a new growth for several weeks now.

These are my words of sort of encouragement, otherwise I'd agree with King above. Pamper it, maybe don't shade it SO much, and don't give up!

Don't give up. I've brought one back that had got down to a rootless leafless bulb. I think I was lucky though as I didn't know what I was doing with it.
