Phalaenopsis Losing Bottom Leaves: Fungus or Natural Aging?

One Leaf Normal, Two Concerning

Losing one bottom leaf is normal. Two in quick succession signals trouble. Check the attachment point for black, sooty areas—indicating fungal infection from water left on leaves overnight.

Prevention & Light Check

Water in morning so foliage dries by night.
Leaves should be medium to dark green in bright shade. Very dark green = too little light; reddish = too much.
