Default request to identify this plant

Thanks for all your efforts. I'm now nervous about keeping this plant in
my care in case i do the wrong thing looking after it and have now handed
it to my cousin since she is really good with plants and will sense more
than anything on what action to take.

Here is a tinypic photo showing the roots. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Those roots are almost a dead ringer for those of, say, a cymbidium. Do I
even seen green in the roots? That makes me wonder if it has a similar
lifestyle and is epiphytic of lithophytic.
