Phalaenopis - moth orchid. Easy to care for. Most die from being overwatered or from crown rot - do not pour water on the crown. Best soaked from below.

When the last flower ends you can sometimes persuade it to flower again. Cut the flower spike at an angle above the third node from the crown.

Once the flowering is finished it is worth repotting in an orchid bark mix. The growers cheat and use spahgnum moss which stays soggy and promotes root rot.
