Welcome. Please read our care sheet if you haven't. I'm thinking you may have already though.
I can't tell if there is sand mixed into the substrate? If so, stop using it and replace with orchid bark, coconut coir or both.

Looks like Tommy was on the road to some heavy pyramiding judging by the notch all around the new growth. Glad that you've got him in a better environment now.

Hand pack that coir. Really get in there and flatten out those fluffy spots. Keep that humidity up.

I also have a Tommy! Welcome to you both. If you're anything like me then you'll be watching him potter about for hours. Time well spent I say.

Tommy needs a REAL hide, not an open one. He is real cute! All the best.
