Gladys,

If the other bulbs look good, you do not have too much to be concerned about.

I have had this may times. It will not win any awards for foliage, but the new growth will flower.

When you re-pot you can begin to remove the oldest worst looking bulbs. I have some old mounted Oncidium that they only good bulbs are 18 inches higher then where the plant was originally mounted. The old sections need to be removed and discarded.

Just do not discard too much at once. Keep 4-5 pseudo bulbs even if some look poor.

Think of your plant as it is growing like your hair. Eventually it looks poor and we cut that section out. It is natural.

You can try soaking the plant in the future to slow the wrinkling of pbulbs but it is a nature growth habit.
