My Max ten is huge compared to yours, and is in a 4-inch terracotta pot. I agree with others, move to a small pot.

First half of winter it was indoors on my plant stand under lights, and kept slightly dry (still watered about 3 times a week) pseudobulbs slightly shriveled. I am in north Georgia, and put many plants outdoors within the last month, but Max ten went out 2 months ago, only coming in when temps were dropping into the 30s F. Watered every other day outdoors, bright light (this is still in cool weather). It has loads of buds right now.

Summer, it goes with Cattleyas, and is watered and fed when the Cattleyas are watered.

I give my plant benign neglect, similar to Matt Woelfsen. Like many orchids, it prefers a little neglect.
