New Dendrobium

Okay, so as with us all, i couldn't resist the urge to add another plant to my collection. Alright, it is a dendrobium with vigourous new growth and great blooms. It was potted in moss and when i got it home had the feeling i would see rot, boy was i right, it was saturated with dead roots. The latest new growth though had blooms on it and many roots growing right above the surface of the saturated moss. I repotted in bark, but can you guys tell me why the leaves on some of the canes look yellowish, mottled? My guess is too much water and temp fluctuation. Pics attached of the leaves, flowers, and its new growing area. Take a look any help appreciated. Thanks
