Need to know how to care for a South American plant?

I was given a South American plant with little orchid like flowers on it and was told it was an Ocemium. I do not know the correct spelling so I can not find any info on its care. It is a parasitic plant that grows on trees and is not to be planted in soil. Does any one recognize my description and know the proper name and how to care for it.

Check with your local Botanic Garden or Master Gardener program. If you can%26#039;t take the plant in, take a couple of very good pics in, and they%26#039;ll be able to help ID the plant and give you care instructions.
Reply:This sounds like it is an air plant. If so, you can put it into any container or attach it to something with floral wire. Mist it with water everyday and twice a week soak the roots for a minute or two. Very easy plant to take care of. P.S. They come in many different sizes and many different types. Good Luck Check google images and see if any come close to what this plant looks like.
