Phal. with Basal Keiki and Great Roots, but still Leaf Loss?

[drewtoby]

I received this phal. about 2 weeks ago from south Florida (I live in central Ohio). This phal has loved water, so much so that I had to mix some spag in with the cocunut husks. I have had extremely minimal root rot while working to find the right mix (2 half inch segments of root ending), so I highly doubt there is an issue with the roots.

The issue: It came with a total of 10 leaves, 3 of which were yellow. As of now, the orchid has 8 leaves and 2 yellow ones (and signs of another leaf yellowing). All yellowing is occurring on the main plant.

Maybe it got too hot during shipping, as the phal it came with died of root damage. Or is the orchid just adjusting to its new environment and/or putting more resources towards its basal keiki? These (3) leaves have been growing pretty rapidly.



Sorry, I can't get the images the right side up
