On further reading I have decided that I have Stenorrhynchos lanceolatum instead. According to OrchidSpecies.com "The major diagnostic difference from the N American S lanceolatum and S speciosum of Central, South America and the Caribbean is the northern species has clear green leaves and the southern ones have white splotched leaves. " I was really at a dead end before. Thanks for the help.

I agree, but it's lovely.

WOW! For a minute, there, I thought it was a bromeliad.

There are 35 to 40 thousand orchid species around the world. Most are epiphytes, (air plants), however there are 200 terrestrials. So your question is no different than how much is a pig in a poke. Nobody knows. How big is the pig and is it spoiled? Those 200 could be on most of the continents. I'm sure the care would be varied...And there is so much more you could provide. Like a picture. The environment you want to grow it. Light. air movement, fertilizers and you figure more. The less you tell the less likely to have any answer. Give us lots of info...work at it! http://everything-orchids.com/outdoor-orchids/terrestrial-orchids a link from the American Orchid Society.
