I am not worrying about the leaves, as Dens usually only keep leaves for a year or 2 or 3, depending on the parents. So the leaf loss could be senescense, and the leaf looks like it. Hopefully the newest leaves are OK. The shrivaling bulbs are another thing These plants should only be repotted when they are about to produce a flush of new roots from a new growth. Your transplanting may have killed most or all of the roots. So, until new roots come along, you need to raise the local humidity to keep the plant from desicating further. Forget the humidity trays, they do very little. Find a large baggy (from cleaner?) to put over the plant loosely, as you do want the plant to have cycles of near drying at the roots to avoid root rot, just in case there might be a few left. Keep it in good light, but not direct, as the plant can not take in water to cool its leaves thru transpiration. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ
