I do like moth orchids, but unfortunately they don't like me, so I'll enjoy yours.

Lovely HB. I have kept an orchid for the first time for three years. It's in daylight on the windowsill but not in full sun. They like rainwater but don't like to be sitting in water. A good soak then remove excess water. I feed my orchid now and again and when the flower stalks finish cut them back just above a small bud on the stem. I have replenished the bark in the pot. You could have a go at splitting the young plant. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Good luck.

You'll get nearly three more months out of it with care. At least I once had one stem flowering for six months. And I'm useless with houseplants! They are quite the cheapest indoor flowers when you think of it that way! :))
