Yes, I thought of doing that but this is a pretty small plant and it only has three pseudobulbs. Two of them have kind of mushy bulbs and the third is healthy but not fully established yet. The roots look nice and healthy though. I'm thinking if it is possible that the medium is too wet since I keep the humidity at around 80-90% all the time with a humidifier?

Is it possible that the plant is too wet? I want to water them everyday but they seem very wet all the time even when once I left it there for a week it still turned out like it was just watered. I grow it in my room with a humidifier so humidity is always around 80-95%.
