Well I am not sure to be honest because it has been in that same condition for 3 or 4 months. There has not been much additional growth. I have wondered if this plant stops growing during the winter months. However, lately a new chute has started and there are some signs of additional root growth all be it slight. For the record I must say that the wrinkled pbulbs have been there since I have owned the plant. When I bought it I knew nothing more than I liked the flowers. If I could start over, and knowing what I know now I do not think I would make that purchase again. Little did I know I was buying a rescue.
So back to one of my original questions. What is the chance that it is getting too much sun? I have it in a west facing window it receives morning through early afternoon sun through a venetian blind.

It looks like it's growing but is not getting enough moisture. Once a week watering with a course mix like that is probably the problem. The color of the leaves looks good so the light it's getting is OK. If you water it more frequently and /or put it in a finer mix it should be just fine. Like Sonya said, the wrinkles will stay but they give it character.

Originally it was in a finer mix than I have it in now. When would be a good time to repot it?
Regarding Sonya's "It gives it character comment", all I have to say is what's said on the OB stays on the OB. If my wife were to read that she might say the bulbs remind her of me.
Scary!
