| Hi and welcome, if you could get a shot of the entire plant pot and all that would be great. The first is a Phalaenopsis, the second pic, is not an orchid as far as I can tell. I would say you have two plants potted up together. The Phal in the first pic looks okay but you do need to check the roots if possible. A common houseplant or small tree would not be able to tolerate the small amount of water that the orchid can survive on. They are competing for existence, and I am happy to see the orchid is winning (I am so bad!) Maybe you could convince the owner of the plant that it would be in it's best interest to let you take it, or at least take it home and repot it. Maybe an offer of a plant as a replacement (that you conveniently buy, and repot before taking it in, so you know that one is healthy)? Anyway, just some suggestions. See if you can get a pic of the whole thing for us, that would really help.
