Curling Catasetum (black pearl) leaves and no spikes?

Okay copy that. I think it could go either way. It’s original home was the east facing window last summer and it did well there, so I might just move it back there.

As far as the fertilizer goes I have a feeling I was too anxious/conservative with that and so it needs more. I love my plants so much and it was an anniversary gift from my BF when I first moved to TX and I’m always afraid of hurting it, especially since I don’t really use fertilizer regularly with any other orchid I have. Still learning at the end of the day. At catasetums are so different than all the other orchids I own.

But if you think I can be watering more and more fertilizer than I trust you! I am the young padawon!
