drying, yellowing leaf

[jesscorine]

Should I leave it alone or cut it off? The tip is getting light brown and crunchy, most of the leaf is yellow and still green towards the base, but only about an inch. I don't have any orchid-specific supplies yet, but I have cinnamon in my pantry if I should cut it off?

What type of orchid? Can you post a photo?

It's just a NOID phal from Lowe's, nothing spectacular However, it has good firm green roots and an extra spike growing off the main spike...so I'd like to keep it thriving. I'll post a photo in a few minutes.

Is it the lowest leaf?

There are only 2 or 3 leaves (it's dark now, baby is nursing, forgot to take a pic, etc)...but yes, it's the lowest leaf.

It may be naturally dying. Is the plant getting any new foliage?

Its working on a spike off of the main (spent) spike...nothing else visible.

If everything else looks fine, it very well may be natural die off.

Agreed with Sonya. I would just leave it until it falls off by it's self.
