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



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.
