    Default Yellowing on Rossioglossum bulb?

    I checked my Rossioglossum Rawdon Jester today and one of the pseudobulbs is yellowing. I have no doubt the leaves will fall off now, which really pisses me off because it's only got two pseudobulbs with leaves and the new growth it does have is growing at the speed of snail. I suspect it might be too hot for it, being in a western window in Texas, but I really don't know of anything else I can do for it. I was really hoping I'd be able to slide by with it, as I've heard they're not as finicky as their Grande parent. I always have a small fan blowing on it, as well as the ceiling fan in the room going all day...and I simply cannot afford to leave my air conditioner on 70 all day long. Or is this just normal behavior for these things?

    p.s. sorry for the sideways picture. For some reason my phone always uploads the damn things that way.
