I would let them know, but in the meantime you could chop out the sad yellowing bits, remove from the pot and rinse off the roots. If you've got orchid potting mix, repot (after washing the pot thoroughly). One stalk looks ok.
When you water it in future, stand the inner pot in water for half an hour, allow to drain well before putting back in the outer pot.
Perhaps it was overwatered before you got it.
If it dies, you tried!!

Hello
I absolutely love this type of orchid (I’ve forgotten it’s name, it begins with d…)
.
Anyway, I looked everywhere on the internet to find a company that sells them, they seem very hard to come by at the moment; and eventually found a garden centre in Devon.
Their customer service was absolutely brilliant. The sales lady emailed me photos so that I could chose my actual plants.
The orchids arrived expertly packaged and were absolute stunners.
But! Look at this. One plant has suddenly become really ill. The flowers have gone brown, and actually appear to be rotting on the stem.
I’ve emailed the garden centre and sent these photos.
What do you think is the matter with it? Have you seen something like this before?
Thank you
