As Yvan says, you most likely have light issues, Lisa. I have two pots (divisions of the same plant), one on the bench, receiving less light, and the other (the one in the photo) hanging together the cattleyas. Both are in clay pots and sphagnum. The one on the bench receiving less light has noticeably more difficulty to developed than that hanging.
