Dicky,

It may also be the normal way this plant grows. You really need to give
more detail about the plant.

The fan that flowered previously will slowly die from the bottom up. That
may explain the old growth.

This type of paph grows by runners like you said. I have seen the lowest
and smallest leaf turn brown and fall off but the remainder of the fan looks
good. Do the rest of the leaves look healthy? Are they significantly
larger than the leaf that is turning brown?

If you could post a picture that may help too. It could be something or it
could be nothing.

Good Growing,
Gene

Dear everyone,
I have a paphiopedilum called armeniacum. There are
three young runners. The small, bottom leaves became brown. Besides, the
old
runner which had flower before became brown too. What is this?
