What’s wrong with my orchid?


The flowers have one by one fallen off, a big leaf fell off and another one is starting to go yellow.

It is potted in orchid mix, I don't water it too often, soil is damp but not wet. Gets plenty of indirect sunshine during the day.

Please help, first time orchid growing failing here.

    The flowers falling off is normal
    The potting mix looks a little dry but it is very normal for the bigger leaves to yellow and fall off when it’s inside a smaller pot

    Hard to say. In your pictures, the roots look dead – gently pull the orchid out and have a look. I suspect there’s probably a moisture or oxygen issue, but again, there’s not enough info here to diagnose.
