I am having some trouble on figuring out how to grow this baby. The leaves seem to be crinkly, and I don't know if I am overwatering or underwatering. I don't think that I am watering too much, but I was told to grow it dry. The leaves were somewhat crinkled when I got it, but it was barely noticeable, and all of the rest were like this.

Underwatering perhaps? But you do have to be very careful with the long petalled species to not overwater.

I agree, when I first started growing these Phrags again mine were doing just that. When I checked the roots, they were not good. I repotted and took the plants off the water trays they were in and now A-OK. I water them well and water only again when they are on the dry side.
