Thank you for the suggestions!

Use 1/8 teaspoon per gallon water of something like 20-20-20 with micronutrients 3 waterings out of 4. Cattleya alliance seedlings, even of species normally making only one growth per year as adults, usually make multiple growths per year with warm, sunny long days, if well fertilized.

Thank you for the suggestions! I will stop misting, fertilize and water this seedling more often from now on. Hopefully the wrinkles will disappear and bulbs become plumping again
