From the look of your parent plant ----- it doesn't appear to be in a particularly bad shape right now.

Aside from weak fertiliser application ----- do you also apply calcium magnesium supplement?

Maybe it is a deficiency of some kind - as you might have correctly sensed earlier - such as a magnesium deficiency or a calcium deficiency.

Maintain good temperature, good and proper lighting level and duration, and good air-flow. If that is a cabinet where the orchid is growing, then hopefully the cabinet has a fan that allows air to flow all around the plant - pot, leaves, stem, roots, media etc.
