Aerangis citrata not happy!

[JennS]

Hello

I have recently added an Aerangis citrata to my collection. I got it about a month ago. It looked gorgeous then...glossy green leaves, looked like a decent potting medium, etc. So, I checked on the board and after a couple inquiries I decided to mount it. The pot it came in was a little square plastic black pot and the medium seemed to be all small pieces of charcoal and a little perlite.

So, I had a cork bark mount ready and went for it. In the process the very tip leaf, the newest leaf, broke off. It appeared to have some rot going on which made the leaf fall off, not just me being clumsy. So, last night I checked on it (it was moved to a new shadier location too) and the next newest leaf also appeared rotted and fell off. The next leaf also appears to have a little rot on the stem and I didn't know if I should remove it or not. The plant came to me with 9 leaves. Now it has 7 and they are being lost from the new growth, not the base. I can imagine it might have had a bit of water left in the crown overnight due to sprinklers, but i have moved it since, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I will take some pics today after work, but it was too dark last night. Should I remove the next leaf that looks possibly infected? Should i wait and see? Can the plant even grow more leaves since the new growth is being lost? Will it be able to survive? I am completely new to these guys, so any advice, comments, thoughts, opinions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
