Default wrinkles


My first S/H cambria is growing and I have to say that this is the first time that I see a spike so strong!!
The roots seem helthy, but in two weeks the pseudo bulb has become wrinkled.
What is happening?
To be honest I’m not able to assure perfect growing conditions to my kids: in this moment they are simply outside my house, in a shade place, with a range of 22 – 34° C and sometime with a bit of wind.
Are these conditions the cause of wrinkles?
Many thanks,
Pierangelo

The oncidium intergenerics often "suck down" their pseudobulbs as they grow spikes and flower, so I simply don't worry about it.

They typically do not recover their plumpness, but the subsequent 'bulbs are fine.
