Ask ChatGPT. Upload photos to chat GPT and it’ll guide you step by step guidance. My humble advice is: make sure the pot has excellent drainage. It will live with very little water. Good luck and be happy! 🌱😊❤️

Do not repot now. Wait until finished blooming. Replace the moss with orchid bark and watering once a week. Do not use ice cubes like a lot of sellers say bc they want u to kill it and buy more. Set in a place like a bathroom or place near humidifier. They are surprisingly very easy. U will see reels or videos of ppl placing them in water: do not do this bc it causes rot after a while. They grow on trees in the wild and their roots r vines. Do not clip air roots when they start to leave the pot. It causes stress and they collect extra humidity from the air
