What's with all these limp leaves on my Phalaenopsis plant?

If that’s the case there has not been sufficient water getting up into the leaves-that’s why they are limp.

It is due to one of two reasons.

Generally speaking, that is has an insufficient food system to support the leaves-this may be due to the fact that some roots have rotted or decayed and the plant doesn’t have enough water to keep it’s leaves stiff.

Another reason might be that it has lots of roots but there have been long pauses in its watering schedule

The Plant has simply dried out from that lack of water or due to that reason.

Old potting mix that’s older than 2 years old can be very rotted and not form enough air around the roots and stays to wet and soggy and the roots may die causing limp leaves.
