Yesterday a leaf fell off my Brassavola nodosa. It fell off the pbulb that just finished blooming. I tried not to be too concerned but today a
handful came off...I'm practically in panic mode. This plant had been thriving for me and astounded me with 3 gorgeous blooms that lasted almost a month or so. Some factors I'm hoping are the cause and that it's not something too serious are: since we moved at the beginning of April it has gone from bright, direct eastern sun to sitting on my fireplace getting bright shade at best. I also took all my mounted orchids out last week because we had a beautiful day and it wasn't supposed to go below 60...needless to say it rained overnight and got down into the mid to low 50s.
Should I start to panic, unmount it and start snipping old pbulbs (the ones that dropped the leaves are a little soft but def not mushy), or could it be from lack of light and getting cold and wet? Appreciate any help, Tha ks!
