Cattleya flowers do not fully open

[Juno0327]

Lucky I live in NYC and the conditions are not that great for orchids. Probably not enough humidity in our apartment.

I bought 3 white dendrobiums a few months ago. I was surprised that as soon as the flowers died, I got new spikes on two orchids. The third one isn't looking good though, no leaves and 2 dead canes. Roots look ok though. You think there is a chance it will survive?

I have exactly the same plant. I would be no worried about the cane with no leaves, as far as roots are fine. This is normal for my dendrobiums, next year you should get from this cane many new keikis! Dendrobium looses the leaves on old canes. I had some, that had 4 canes leafless, looking like they would be dead, but next year all these canes give like 10 keikis. I did not even separate them, let them grow on mother plant, and they did bloom like crazy:-)
