yellowing leaves

[SShide77]

Hello Everyone,

I have two phalaenopsis that are doing very well, one has three flower spikes with one in full bloom and another on its way and the other has two flower spikes with both in full bloom. THey are doing well and the leaves look healthy, except a leaf or two which are under all the other leaves. My plants have quite a few leaves that cover up the smaller leaves underneath. The leaves underneath, just one on both plants, are turning yellow. Is this just because they don't get enough light being underneath all the other leaves? Or is there something else going on?

Thanks!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
This is a normal progression for Phals. The older leaves on the bottom will turn yellow
and eventually fall off as new ones grow from the top. As long as it's the bottom leaves,
everything is alright.
