Gradual Leaf Drop in Pleurothallis Allenii
Recently, I believe about a month ago, I received a Pleurothallis Allenii. Upon arrival, two leaves dropped. At the time, I dismissed this as shipping stress. Now, about a month later, four more leaves have proceeded to suddenly turn yellow and drop, about one a week. The plant still looks very healthy and whenever I think no more leaves will drop, a leaf will yellow over the course of a night or two and drop.
The only conclusions I could come to are humidity, which hovers 50%-60%. Soon it would be moved into an environment with higher humidity (75%-85%), I'm hoping that helps.
Growing conditions:
Temp: 65 at night to 75ish in the day, occasionally lower.
Water: Always moist but not sopping wet- I water when it is very close to drying out.
Light: East facing window- although partially shaded by a small dendrobium.
