Melk,
Your plant looks like a Phalaenopsis from the photos. I think that you have it
potted in too large a container and you have it too deep into the potting mix. I
think that your potting mix looks too compact and in my humble opinion it is
going to have poor drainage and you will rot your roots off. I would suggest
that you repot into a smaller pot with a more open mix.
Good luck and welcome to the group.
Mike

Hello
My name's Melquiades and I got as gift an orchid sometime ago. I didn't know
how to atke care of it, and the big leaves and the stick where the flowers
blossom were cutted because it was dried. Can you check the photo and help me
telling me what to do to make it health again? New leaves are already growing.
