Question Need help IDing this plant !!!
everyone !!! I got this plant about 2 months ago from a friend. She told me it was an orchid and that when it blooms it's long spikes that shoot upwards. She referred to it as 'Three Brothes' or 'Twelve Disciples' but she doesn't remember actually. Well here are the pictures. Hopefully I can place it and learn some more about its culture

Phaius is a terrestrial. I have both of mine in a potting soil mix with added perlite and charcoal. They seem to do very well with it.

Definitely not Lycaste. Lyc has larger pseudobulbs much like intergenerics. I would tend to agree with Phaius
