Dendrobium kingianum

Hello everyone,

My kingianum was doing fine until it started flowering about three weeks ago. Since then it has been losing leaves at the rate of one or to a day. It seems like they dry out starting from the tip of the leaf. It's winter here now, with fairly low light levels and temperatures around 65 - 70 degrees. It is the combination of abundant flowers, with new spikes still being formed, and the shedding of nearly all its leaves (starting with the lower leaves) that puzzles me. Anybody any ideas?
