The plant is dying??

Hi I'm new here in planting orchids. Few days ago I noticed my plant (sorry I don't know what is the species of the orchid 'coz it is a gift) has yellow leaves (yellowing throughout) and the flower with stem doesn't stand stiff.

Some leaves are having yellow spots, I don't see any bugs or mites...

Could anyone advise what would I do? I also posted the images at the Gallery

Much thanks!

You need to post a pic as it would really help. Post five times before you can send a picture.

Looking at the gallery pics...it doesn't look like any orchid I've ever seen.

Orchid or not...most plants are killed by over-watering.

Went back and had another look...I think you have a Cyclamen there...not an orchid. (It's definitely not an orchid...I've moved this over to "other plants")

I agree that it is a Cyclamen, definitely not an orchid. Other than over-watering the next thing I would consider for Cyclamen is spidermites.
