Need help with Cycnode ....

[Dr. Dave 4u]

Forgive me if I am repeating a post, I swear this afternoon I posted this and later it vanished??!!!!

Anyway, I got this Cycnode wine delight last week. I never had one of these before and did do some reading up on it. I assume it was grown in the Seattle Orchid companies greenhouse. It did not get frozen when shipped so thats a good thing ...but...

I was amazed at how live healthy and green it looked!
There was a small shoot/growth sprouting up next to it. Its a week later and all of a sudden the mother plant is turning yellow as is the leaves yet the little growth is shooting up very fast.
My questions are
-is this normal or am I killing it??!!
-is the mother plant the reservoir for the little plant now growing next to it?
-Is this the time to start watering it and how much?
-Any other suggestions would be helpful

Thanks
