Thank you, everyone! Wendy, I went to the link you provided, then
followed it to others. What's funny, it seems I did a lot of the
right things - but only by accident! LOL!

Ernie - what did you mean by you have yours in smooth river rocks?
Did you mean as the 'growing medium'????

There's one more thing I should mention. I'm moving in a couple
weeks, from the 'Inland Empire' area to the 'High Desert', where
humidity is much less. (Temps will be about the same, except that
summer nights will be cooler than down here.) Aside from keeping it in
part shade and limiting heavy sunlight, I was thinking of placing the
pot on a shallow container filled with stones that I pour water into
to raise the humidity. Good idea? Bad?

I think it may have been left in direct sunlight too much at its
former home, as there is some yellowing of some leaves. I've trimmed
most of them off, and the previous owner apparently trimmed some other
leaves pretty much down to the soil. I have brought it up near the
house to a more sheltered area as we've been having some cold nights.

Hoo boy, by comparison my Irises are soooooooooo simple

Thank you again for all your help! Hopefully my poor orphan orchid
will survive the move
