Phalaenopsis equestris shedding leaves

[Neverend]

I'm not sure if I should categorise this as a problem, but my equestris seems to only have a small number of leaves, everytime it grows a new one it sheds some. I worry that it'll become bare soon like this, anyone can help?

Hi , they will lose the bottom leaves off and on but not a lot of them . I have some questions .
Is it in a pot or mounted ? If potted I would suspect a root problem ,not enought roots to support the leaf growth .
If mounted how often is it watered ? Have you done a bug check? false spider mites love Phals . run a wet tissue over the under side of the leaf if orangish smears then it is mites sucking the life out of the leaves . If mounted how often is it watered ? What kind of light is it getting . I am sorry for all the questions . Gin

No don't be sorry for the questions, it's good so that you can help diagnose the problem

It is potted, but I don't think it is a root problem since the roots are growing well, and there are no pests in my phals, especially since my garden is like a spider paradise. However these spiders can't help to get rid of the fungal and bacterial attacks...

I suspect that there is some sort of rot as I managed to uncover a black spot on the stem under the shrouds of dead leaf scraps, however it's still firm so I don't think it has advanced, I applied fungicide just to be careful anyway.

I water normally like my other phals, light too, so I find it really weird, that all my other phal NOID hybrids and bellinas are doing well while this isn't.

What I do if I find any dark spots is treat the area with 3 percent peroxcide then apply cinnamon on that to dry it out , Hope all turns out well .. Gin
