Bought my first orchid. Need to know more about it!

[floranewb206]

Decided to get my mom an orchid after doing minimal research. It was only $10 at Home Depot and so beautiful, looks healthy as far as I can tell with lots of blooms, couldn't resist!

So far I know orchids need an airy soil or bark, once every 3 weeks light watering with fertiliser, and to be misted. What I don't know is how long I should keep it in this tiny container that doesn't have a drain, when I know it needs to be watered, and how often to mist it (also, the leaves or just the roots?). Do I need to change the bark it came with to something with more nutrients? And what exact species is this?

Any other info you think I need is much appreciated! : ) I know a good amount about aquatic plants, and have a successful planted aquarium, so I should get the hang of this.


PS it won't let me post the photo yet, so I hope you can tell through my avatar.
