Hello fellow orchid lovers!

I recently purchased my first Dendrobium and could use some of the expertise out there! There is some leaf damage, and some of the stems (terminology?) look a litte rough. Also, I am not sure about the roots (I was told it is potted in a coconut?). I was wondering if I should remove some of the damage to get my orchid healthy! Here are some pictures for clarification. Any suggestions/advice would we greatly appreciated! Thank you much.
