Cattleya advice?

[Kilmiquix]

Hi, all! I hadn't posted a question in the last two hours, so I thought it might be time.

These two cattleyas have been putting off new roots in the last few weeks, but they look a little sad. A little wrinkled? A few shadowy spots? The leaves are not as firm as they were a few weeks ago but are no means floppy. They are in just a little fir bark in wooden slatted baskets. They get morning sun for a few hours and then are shaded. They get watered every morning and fertilized once per week.

The first two pics are of one plant, and the second three are of the second plant.

Additionally, should I remove the brown sheath on the second plant (pic 5) so that the leaf can open up? It's been over 8 weeks since I've had it, and that hasn't changed at all.

Can you take a look at the pics and give me some expert advice?

Also, is there a way to get the pics to rotate properly, or is that something I need to do before I post them? Or is the camera orientation. I imagine that long-time members have a permanent cricks in their necks.
