silken is right, your plant is dehydrated by the looks of the shrivelling bulbs(you are using a mix that easily drain water=you need to water more)....try soaking the pot overnight then water your plant in the morning every other day and in the warmer months water it in the morning and in the late afternoon....
it is advisable to wet the underleaves with fertilizer but wipe dry with paper towel droplets on the leaves especially if it is cold....
this kind of plant can make flower spikes curl inside and sometime they dont develop in form when dehydrated....you can also look if the leaves are pleated then there is a moisture issue
*dont worry if your plant is a NOID....its got beautiful flowers thats all that matters....

Thank you for your tips. I appreciate it. Will the older bulbs re-hydrate? It was like that when I bought it and I must have left it pot bound too long too. The grower had it in black lava rock. Should I add some Physan for the overnight soak? Do you know how long Physan 20 stays active once mixed with water?
