Thanks for the reply Ray. It was a reasonable guess, but actually I'm always very careful not to get the leaves wet.

OK. Any ideas how? As I said my other six phals are in great shape. Should I isolate the one with the green leaves? The problem with doing that is there is no other place in the house where these plants will grow so moving it ensures it's demise.
Move it anyway. Nothing bad will happen from a bad location in the short run. I'm thinking a month or 2 at the most. I'm remembering loosing a vanda type orchid. It had some leaves turn yellow about half way between the bottom of the plant. Only a couple of leaves and, at first, I wasn't concerned. Soon, more leaves were yellowing and I tried to save it. It pretty much fell apart from some disease killing it from the inside out. The yellow leaves on your plant will fall off or you will remove them. If nothing else bad happens, move it back to the good location. If it continues to loose leaves, I would un pot it (even though it is freshly potted) and remove every bit of dead roots and ay other dead plant parts. If it has an internal rot of some kind, it might fall apart before you get around to this.

I moved the plant.
Pictures of the leaves are here:
I appreciate the help.
I examined the roots. They are pale but very firm. Much like the lower roots always look when I repot.
So - now what??
