Unhappy Cattleya Bob Betts appears to be dying-pictures attached

My Cattleya Bob Betts looked well in Oct. when it was in bloom(see atttachments) but now it is slowing dying. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what to do about it. I have owned it for about 1 1/2 years Thanks,
Willa

How did you grow this plant? Details about it's culture were not provided.

Did you guys have a frost go through that area?

Checking the roots is a good idea.

All of the Bob Betts that I have ever seen or heard of are nice pure white Catts. I don't think this is Bob Betts? It looks to me like the roots are shot and if the plant hasn't been repotted in a while there is probably root rot. It will be hard work to get it back with only one partly viable growth left.

I agree! I think your plant looks severely dehydrated...which could be a result of the root system rotting. When was it last repotted, what is it potted in, and how often do you water?
