I usually only grow phals but I just couldn't resist this oncidium with it's cheery yellow flowers. It stopped flowering about 4 months ago. I changed the potting medium but otherwise left it alone. After about a month it started to grow a new leaf bulb (I don't know what to call it). It looked great, nice and green with several leaves. Yesterday when I went to check on the orchids I saw that all the new growth had turned a mushy brownish yellow. I cut it off before I thought of taking a photo.
What would cause this to happen? It had to have happened over a period of less than 3 days since I check the orchids at least every other day. The older leaves look fine - for now. The other plants are also fine - for now.
Help!
