Vanda orchid suddenly loosing leaves

[MiaNik]

My vanda has suddenly started dropping leaves. In the last week or so, the poor thing is down to last handful, having lost around dix leaves already. Is there any way I can save it?

Water... dropping leaves is how Vandas respond to "drought". They have no storage mechanism like pseudobulbs. so if they are losing more water through their leaves than they are taking in through their roots, they start dropping leaves in a desperate attempt to avoid dehydryation.
