I have had my little lightning orchid for about three weeks now. Came in a 2 inch pot and it’s not root bound, so I’m leaving well enough alone. I noticed it was starting to get a little wrinkly on the leaves. It wasn’t a water issue. Most likely it was a temperature issue in our house. I live in Northern Michigan and now is the time of year that it’s about 66 in our house. Somewhere, I read about putting a heating pad under your plants. So that’s what I am trying right now. My lightning orchid and my two baby Hoya rope plants look much happier. My lightning orchid is even getting a new leaf!.A little hard to see them through the glass, But this is my set up.

    I have never heard of such a thing. Mine has been in bloom for a year. Lives in my bathroom. It is cool in there and even cooler in the winter time. It get the humidity from the shower and get the lighting from the sun facing Southwest, but not direct sunlight.

    This is the lightning orchid I was referring to. Not your typical Phalaenopsis.
