    Default Dying leaves, what is the cause

    Hello, I am new to Orchid growing and have just transplanted a few plants. These are small plants with 3-6 leaves each. I have repotted into sphagnum moss, each plant is in it's own small pot and they all sit in a large glass "bowl" filled with rock to hold them in place.

    They have been growing like crazy, no yellow leaves or bad looking roots I can see. I have water every 2 weeks. Currently I can feel that the moss on top is dry but, in the bottom of the container it is slightly damp.

    I just noticed three leaves that are dead/dying. All were on the bottom of the plant, nearest to the root. They all fell off the plant as soon as I touched them. Here are the pics, all three seem to be in different stages of death.

    Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Thank you,
