Leaves on an Orchid Plant usually become wrinkled when the plant is very dry and needs water. Alternatively, or you may have over-watered your Orchid Plant causing the roots to die, and now the plant can no longer absorb water. If the pseudo-bulbs of your Orchid Plant that are above the soil are shriveled, give the plant more water. You can also carefully take the Orchid Plant out of its pot and check the soil to be sure it's not soggy at the very bottom. Orchid Plants do not like wet feet! Orchid Plant roots are healthy if they are greenish white and plump.
