| What do I do with yellowing leaves on Phals? Hi - I've had one of my Phals for around 12 months and I see I have a new spike (I think a flowering one?). I have only had new leaves before and new roots growing. However, some of the old leaves look as it they're dying and yellowing. Should I remove these? Would appreciate any helpful advice.      |

| That is normal for Phals. They will eventually wither enough to fall off on their own. |

| yes, as long as you also have new growth, you're fine. when leaves turn yellow and fall off *overnight* is when you have a problem.

| I give them a very gentle tug every day until it just falls off in my hand, when it is good and ready.

| In general, as a new aerial root appears in the axil of the lowest leaf, it yellows, withers, and falls off. I just leave the leaf until it disconnects of its own accord or with a slight tap of my finger. -- Bill |
