Why do the leaves on my phalaenopsis orchid droop down when the flowers are great?

Because the enregy is going to the bloom

Why do the leaves on my phalaenopsis orchid droop down when the flowers are great?
The plant is not getting enough water. This may be caused by having been overwatered in the past and the roots have died.



Knock it out of the pot - see if there are any viable (green and firm) roots.



In any event, you will need to remove the spike and repot if you want to save it.
