Leaves Falling Off + Old Age??

[orchidgirl82]

Hi Everyone,

I've been having issues with my orchids this summer. I pride myself on taking great care of them and for some reason this summer they are just not doing well.

I came home from work today and saw a leaf on the floor. A perfect green firm new leaf. It came from my 3 year old orchid which has tons of leaves and roots and air roots. The only suspicious thing i see wrong with it is that the crown looks a bit yellow which is odd. I dont see how it would have crown rot b/c given there are so many leaves the crown is about 4" from the base.

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this. The orchid looks very healthy and has a baby leaf coming out from the center...

Do orchids ever die of old age??


Thank you!
