My orchid stopped flowering & the stalk is dead but leaves are green - how do i bring it back to flowering?

It is one of thosde orchids with one thin stalk and then you get 3 or 4 flowers on the end of it. I am guessing i should cut it back but have no idea how much.

If you cut the stem back to the second node below the flowers you will have a chance at another flower spike. Since yours is already dead you will need to just cut it off. My phalaenopsis orchid is on its third spike from the original bloom that started last March. Just keep your orchid watered and fertilized and you will get another in about a year. They do best in an area of bright indirect light and a fluctuating day and night temp. Warm during the day and cool at night. Good luck and next flower spike make sure you cut it back to the second node and you may get another flower spike. Here is a site that you may find helpful. Enjoy your blooms!

Reply:Just cut off the stalk at the bottom. Fertilize the green leaves when no blooms present then wait. It can take a full year to get another bloom. Be patient.
Reply:It sounds like you have a phalaenopsis orchid.Cut the flowered stalk down to about 5cm ,then move the plant into a colder room (5-6 degrees colder) for a couple of weeks. This will trick the plant into thinking it is going through a winter.Bring it back into the warmer room and hopefully it will flower again. Good luck!
Reply:They often flower only once a year so don't be too eager. Buy some proper orchid food and give it plenty of light and moisture, not too much don't drown it, it will grow new leaves then another flower spike same time next year. Cut the old ones off.
Reply:Trim the spike down some orchids take a year to rebloom, water every week, fertilize monthly, and keep in bright light, not direct sunlight.
Reply:I'm not an expert but I had one the same. I cut off the stalk and then just left it. Next year a new stalk came and flowered. Did it three times but now it's dead.
