Hi everyone, I am new to this website, my apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place. I hoping someone Ca help me, I have recently gotten 2 new orchids from a charity shop and am unsure what they are. They told me the first one is a crucifix orchid, and the second (the one with the pseudobulbs) is an Australian native. If anyone could give me a bit more insight that'd be great as I would like to look up how best to care for them. Thank you!

The first one ,if they called it a crucifix orchid,should be a Reed-stem Epidendrum.
The second one I don't know.Maybe someone else will.

Agreed that the first one looks like a reed-stem Epidendrum.
I don't have any idea on the second one either, although I do have a remarkably similar-looking one for which I'm waiting to bloom. Mine gets a good amount of natural light outside under a 70% shade cloth, and I water it when it's almost dry.

Thank you so much! They told me the second one grows tiny white flowers when in bloom, if that helps.

I'm not too sure but from your picture of the first orchid, it looks like virus rings spots on 2nd set of leaves on the left. I would isolate this want wash hands ect if you decide to keep it.
