| Hi Alex, What a lucky mom. Could you update your location in the user cp located in the left hand corner at the top of the page? If we know the area that you live we can give you better advice on what to do with your mom's plant. I recommend reading the culture sheet on your mom's Dend. here: AOS | Dendrobium

| I meant to tell you your mom's orchid is the Phalaenanthe variety, which means it is what is considered a Phalaenopsis-type dendrobium. It's care is different than the nobile-type Dend. Also try the skewer method of watering. As it is the growing season for Dends, it will probably need to be watered more frequently. Skewer use for watering of orchids
