I'm certain it's a deciduous, but don't know which one till it blooms. Let it dry out and in the spring when new growth starts (hopefully a flower spike as well) then start watering, like 1-2 times per week. As buds develop into true growths increase watering. BTW, I would get it out of the clay display pot, keep the plastic pot, and get all the sphagnum from around it and off the top of the pot. I'll bet it's potted in bark and the sphagnum is there for esthetics. You can set it back in the clay pot, but no moss. Also DO NOT remove the old growths from around that large one. That is where the stored energy resides. When the blossoms fall off and roots are growing strongly, you can consider repotting if you think it needs it, or move it to S/H.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
