This orchid has crinkled leaves, which I understand is due to lack of water during growth. Is there anything more I can do for it (other than give it more water?)
Thanks!

It looks like an Epicat. Am I right.

If so, don't overwater this guy.

Check the roots. It's probably damaged very badly.

Down pot if you have to.

Thanks for the advise, I'll take it easy on the watering. Do you suggest once a week or once every two weeks?

It really depends on your conditions.

As King suggests, you should check the roots to see if they're rotted. If they are rotted from overwatering, the plant is not getting enough water because it has insufficient roots to take up the water it needs.
