Yellowing Neofinetia fan

[plantxart]

Yellowing fan out of nowhere. Looks like I’m gonna lose this one. Anyone have problems like this? It’s normal to lose older leaves but a whole fan is something fishy

[Roberta]

I have had older fans die more often than losing individual leaves from them. If you haven't recently repotted, might be time to unpot and make sure that there isn't anything systemic going on with the roots.

It looks normal to me

Looks good, beautiful roots. I personally wouldn't worry about it, but let some our Neo experts weigh in.

Look carefully for bugs. I'm not a Neo expert.

looks fine to me..sometimes the leaves on the bottom get tired and fail. if its the leaves in the middle to the top then you might have a problem..

I'm no orchid expert at all, but I do know a few things about plants. I wouldn't be surprised if it's what RJSquirrel said in that the plant is killing off some leaves.

One thing I read that you could watch out for is the center leaves browning, and Kristen from New World Orchids has a really short post about this:
Neofinetia: Brown Center Leaf? - New World Orchids

But again, it's probably what RJSquirrel said.

thank you! will try to add some calcium to see if it helps. it was only one fan and hasn't spread to others

The roots seems in good shape. I'd cut the dry/dead ones and sanitize the cut with cinnamon powder or peroxyde, for my part.

Don't put cinnamon or peroxide on roots! A sure way to damage them!
