Cattleya Seedling with many new growths

[Belle0324]

Hello all! I wanted to see if I could maybe figure out what is going with this Cattleya seedling I purchased and received about 2 months ago. It has grown amazingly within that time, producing what seems like 4 new pseudobulbs? I was quite surprised because I didn't expect that many new growths at a time. I wasn't sure if this was normal, especially since the original leaves are turning wrinkly.
It seems there are a few reasons the leaves can get wrinkled, but I want to try to understand what is causing it.
I've been watering every 3-4 days, the humidity here is pretty low, around 40% so maybe I should try to increase the humidity in the space?
I'm using half the recommended fertilizer amount.
I use an LED grow light for 8 hours per day.
Not sure whether it is a deficiency, lack of/too much water, or maybe too much energy is being expended on all these new growths?

Hopefully this hasn't been answered elsewhere, I can't seem to find a similar situation.
I'm very new with orchids, so there is a lot I'm still learning! I would appreciate some tips for Cattleya seedlings if anyone has any info!

Root loss, it will be fine once the new growths grow roots, try to keep the roots moist.

Welcome to the Orchid Board.

The older leaves are wrinkled - this indicates the plant isn't taking up enough water. That is either from poor roots, or from not watering enough.

A Cattleya seedling in medium to large bark in your conditions could be watered every day. I don't think you've been watering enough.

Did it come in that pot and that bark? Don't repot Catts unless new roots are just beginning.

Unless it's near a window, 8 hours of light isn't enough. Aim for 10-12 per day.

I have a young cattleya seedling in a very similar situation. It lost all its roots in summer and it was only in autumn that it started to recover. Cool temps helped a lot. It sent 4 new growths (6 originally, but I guess it only had enough nutrients for 4) and after they started to root, the whole plant began to rehydrate. Now it's doing well.

Apparently, it's the strategy cattleya have to recover quickly from root loss.

Please define “half the recommended fertilizer amount”.

I'm not entirely convinced of underwatering. That plant is putting out a crazy amount of new growth, so it could just be rationing water/nutrients from the existing growth to push the new growth. The pot is a bit too large for this little plant, so increasing the water frequency might not be beneficial. I'd also point out that you'll want to make sure that plant isn't wiggling in any breeze or during watering. If it is, those root tips could abort when they touch the media you'll lose the plant quickly.
