Hi Orchid Board. I bought this H. retrocalla from Andy's Orchids about 4 months ago. Since then, I've repotted it into semi-hydroponics and it seemed to be doing great. Each plant is growing a new leaf, and the mother division currently has three spikes.
However, I'm noticing that an increasing number of lower leaves are yellowing and crisping. I know that it's natural for vandaceous types to discard their lower leaves, but I'm not sure if this is the case here. Currently the mother division has two yellowing leaves (pictured). Additionally, a bud opened prematurely. It's still developing, which is kind of cool - I've been able to see the colors slowly form. I'm not sure if this is a symptom of anything.
Finally, one of the leaves of the daughter division has had a brown crack-like pattern near the tip. I've noticed that leaf is now starting to yellow at the tip. Should I panic or just leave it alone?
