Default Dendrobium Orchid leaf curvature

My Dendrobium has been very healthy since I recently bought it. Over the last week or so I have noticed the leaves starting to curve. I was wondering if someone might know why that is occurring and if
I need to adjust something I am doing. It is possible it my need more light I have it in the brightest spot I have right now I am thinking about adding some artificial light too. Anyways let me know what you guys think. I know there are some big brains here to pick Hopefully the attachment worked and you can see the picture of what I am talking about.

I guess the picture doesn`t show it as good as i would like but the leaves are almost shaped like a bowl high around the edges then dips down in the middle quite a bit except at the base of the leaf where it is attached to the stem.

This is a minor case of either some sort of malnutrition or dehydration.

Easy to adjust to.

Don't go overboard on the fertilization and the watering though.

The lighting you have is good enough don't add more. It's not necessary. You could burn the leaves and make things worse.

Like I said, at the moment, I understand your situation to be a rather small problem...

Unless...

The roots are all gone. How are the roots? Have any pics?

What kind of Dendrobium is it?

The roots are thriving. I can't remember the kind of Dendrobium it is I have the tag (or should) but I can't find it right now.
