I know exactly what you are describing; my Robert Jackson 'Wild Thing' as two classically pleated leaves from being too dry (underwatered/low humidity). I remember to water it on schedule and moved it to the window over the kitchen sink and the new leaves are normal (and the two pleated leaves are just pleated at the top) and I think I may be getting a spike! I'll post a pic under a new thread to see if I'm right about what it may be doing.

The NoID (well, it was once ID'd but I lost the tag, duh) is nothing like I've seen in any orchid books on 'dumb things people to plants' but that doesn't mean it's not a humidity problem...
