Is it wise to cut off old wrinkled Cattleya leaves?

Great post Ross!

Cindy, as for the misting, I personally don't mist as I see NO benefit that comes from it. Unless of course you have orchids in terrariums.

Catts do like to dry out inbetween waterings, the questions is .... How long between the waterings is your plant dried out?
Do you use a BBQ wooden skewer as a guide?
At what strengh are you using the fertilizers?
While we're here, LOL, what kinda media do you have this 'chid in?

I think you plant is just being kept drier then it would like to be - fertilizers will only add to the damage.
