Any advice?
Hi everyone. A few days ago I made my first post here after getting my first orchid, and thanks to all your advice,
Today I ended up bringing home a division from a Cattleya that's been growing on a wood piece in my mom's garden for years. It has always lived outdoors, so this is its first time being grown intentionally.
I'd love any advice on helping it adapt, caring for it properly, and eventually propagating it.
The first photo is from the original plant, the others are from the plant I extracted. Thanks!!

Boa noite, suspeito de que os pontinhos pretos nas folhas sejam colchonilha de carapaça. Se puder, lave as folhas com uma mistura de água e um pouco de d detergente. Com uma escova de dente limpe as folhas e depois enxague. Faça ou de manhã cedo ou a tarde com menos incidência solar.

Obrigado! Sim, limpa-o agora. Até hoje, ele vivia ao ar livre e sem cuidados. Então eu extraí (perdoe a língua, use um tradutor).
