I replanted this from a floral arrangement I received a few months ago. I brought it in the house for the winter and it seems to be growing some kind of little white balls hanging from the leaves now. I just want to make sure I'm taking care of it correctly.
P.S.- Please ignore the thinner leaves in the pictures. They aren't the plant in question, unless you know what it is also?.

I have a similar Phalaenopsis or 'Moth Orchid' , It blooms from those little balls which are their buds. The blooms are gorgeous and long lasting. Florists support the flower spike with a stick and a clip. I use a stick and some floral tape.
