Default Orchid ID, please

That one (because of the enderesii parent) is a bit more temperature
tolerant. I'd grow it in the same temperatures that you like, ie not less
than 55F at night, and no more than 85F during the day. Keep it out of
drafts from the heater/air conditioner.

Hi thanks,

Just another quick question. How do I found out if it is a warmer or
cool-growing?

The label just says "Orchid" and the watering instructions vary according
to the language!!!

And yes it is a pot inside a pot but the bigger pot if half full with
gravel so drainage and water in the roots should not be a problem.

Thanks for the help!!!

Is there any kind of name on the label?

That looks like a pot inside a pot without drain hole. Don't let the
roots sit in water unless its in semi-hydro per Ray's website.

I think I used to have something similar. It would bloom with a
profusion of flowers, sometimes 4 spikes per pseudobulb. Ah! What a
nice plant! Then it croaked (probably becasue I failed to water and
fertilize it.) My bad.

Anyway, I think one of the species in the background is endresii. I
think this may be sold by Hillsview Orchids in Oregon/Washington area.
In addition to the culture sheet Ray provided I think it'd do better
with rainwater, if you can get it.

Hi,

I got this orchid as a present and no clue of what it is.

Can you please give some advice on how to take care of this plant?
Normal water or rain water? sun or shade? light or dark? how much
water?

At the moment it is in the office away from the sun.

Thanks in advance
