Hi there. I have a question for all of you experienced phal orchid growers. What is the lifespan of a phal orchid leaf? I have a phal that is puzzling me. It is blooming since august last year, on the same spike, each time with 5-6 flowers. Now it has buds for the third time on this spike (four of them so far).

It was repotted in april last year, has some great looking roots

(took the pictures a couple of days after watering, also checked for root rot, there isn't any, they are starting to grow from the tips), but I have a problem with the leaves. I lost one (bottom one) when I moved in september last year (not one lost bud though), and now it seems it wants to lose another one.

What is your opinion on this? How long should a phal leaf live? Thanks in advance for the advices.
