Default "unhappy" Odontoglossum

Hello,

I have one Odontoglossum in my small collection and it is "not
happy".
I bought it a year ago with one flower spike. The flowers die within
two weeks and since then it grew only one new bulb that has grown to
about third of the length of the other bulbs, and lost two leaves (it
have about 15 leaves). I have repotted it recently and the roots were
thin about 1intch long (the leaves are more than 10Intch long). The
roots had light brown color but were firm. The temperature in the fast
three months was 60-70F and the humidity is 50% to 70%.
I do not think that the plant is going to die but it is not as active
as my Cattleya that has grown two new bulbs in this time and phals
that some are in bloom and some are growing new leaves and roots.

Any special tips for the Odon?

Regards

Gal
