I have carefully checked the roots, and they are O.K.
So it seems that the only issues are either my plant is of that variety that naturally looses the leaves (but how was it kept with all leaves at the greenhouse?), or the temperature is killing it. If it is the first option: Will all leaves fall, or will the two top one remain? , Will new leaves grow where the old ones were?

My Drendrobium is of Phalaenopsis type. When it came from the shop it
was bloomed and having healthy deep green leaves from bottom to top as
well as three keikis. After more than a week without problems, it
started loosing the leaves of the keikis and after that, one, by one
the inferior leaves of the main plant. They start getting progresively
yelow and after a few days, they are done, step by step as if the
yellow is ascending the stairs. I would say that light conditions of my
room are ok. The humidity is from 60 to 73%. The temperature from 55
some nights to 75. I have a several orchids in the same room that do
not show any problem (1 Phal, 1 Vanda, 2 Oncidiums, 1 Cymbidium, 1
Miltonia and and 1 Cambria.).
I don't know what is going wrong with the Dendrobium, and if that leave
dropping will end. żany ideas?
