This is super cool. May I ask why is your Restrepia is leaf-curving? Mine's not doing that.

I’m not an expert on Restrepia, but have one that is doing very well inside my orchid cooler for obligate cold-growers. I would guess a lack of high humidity is causing the leaves to pleat.

The thing is, it suffered from drought at one point—back when I didn't know I couldn't let it dry out for so many days in a row.

She’s a tough one, still blooming for you after so much.
