 What is this orchid?
Hello, my name is Irena, Im new to the site. I own 5 orchids, and i bought my latest one last autumn. I had bought it in bloom and i still don't know what type it is. By the bloom it seems to be a cattleya...but the foliage is similar to a catasetum. Here's a picture in attachments  please help!

It looks like a Phaius hybrid.

Sure here you go, i just took this today. It got quite large. I'm not sure what to do with it, i would love for it to bloom again, and I'd like to separate it and re-pot it.

I don't have any of these due to the size but there are several geeks on here who have these and will be along shortly. It is a very healthy looking plant. |

It will bloom during March, but before that for one month it requires some rest. So you have to reduce watering and stop fertilizing during this period. Happy Orchid growing. Cheers Mani |
