9. Pruning Your Orchid
Once the flower has died, you want to snip off the stem at its base. Many orchids don’t flower on the same stem twice so pruning it will not affect the plant's growth. The exception to this is if you have a phalaenopsis or moth orchid. In this case, cut the stem just above its joints or above the two nodes at the bottom, and it should produce another flower on the same stem.
