Hi all, I noticed one of the pseudo bulbs yellowing on a laelia lobata that I have and was wondering if someone could tell me why this happened and what to do about it?

This is a fairly new plant to me, I've only had it for about a month or so and it was green when it got here. I haven't repotted it or done anything weird, it gets watered with the skewer method so there should be no issues there.

Just looks like an old leaf being shed. When leaves fall off the older bulbs, it's not something you need to worry about. Overall, the plant look really healthy.

my rule of thumb: if it's yellowing and firm/dry, let it be. if it's yellowing and mushy/wet, cut it off.

Ok, I just thought it was weird because it's not one of the oldest bulbs and the others seem fine.

Thank you
