My orchids are dying!
Yellow leaves always makes me think, overwatering. I would repot with a nice rich soil.
This would be the time to repot. Remove from the pot carefully (soak if any roots are attached to pot so they come off easily) and trim the roots that are dry or whitish looking (a sign of too much water). Using a planting mix for orchids (easily obtained at one of the big name home improvement stores) plant in a slightly larger pot. Make sure the plant is steady and snug.

They need to be repotted every 3 years.
