I grow many masdevallia and have never seen this before so can someone tell me what could be wrong?

Last year, I bought some masdies (thin leafed types) and most of them grew and bloomed the normal way but I have one plant that grows in this super unpredictable wonky way.

For example, the first 3 months were fine, then it bloomed and grew some leaves, but after that, it dropped enough leaves to reduce the size of the plant by half. It then recovered very quickly by sending up many growths and bloomed again, this time with more than 30 flowers! there were flowers everywhere and it was amazing but right after the flowers dropped, it did the thing where it lost a huge portion of its leaves again. I am not sure if the flowers sucked out the energy from the plant or what, but it really bothers me as I'd rather have a healthy plant, than flowers any day. right now it is recovering again but it's still shedding a few leaves. It looks okay from the top but you can see unsightly " bald spots" where the leaves dropped off when you look closely. So what do you think is going on with the plant?

Thanks in advance for any help I get!
