Can you help with advice on Orchids?
+2
I have one that is about 5 years old, so far it has bloomed only once when I got it. It grew a stalk last year but all the buds fell off, it has started another one now, I mist it daily and fertilize about once a week, would love to see it bloom again.

You are lucky as most hybrids do not bloom again. Stop the fertilizer, water as usual, stop the misting, do not move it from where it is obviously happy. Let it get more light if the shade are drawn, if there is air moving around it. block it from drafts. Do not touch the blooms. Most important is again, do not move it. Good luck.
Thanks, I will try this.
It's possible your orchid isn't getting enough sunlight. They love love sunlight. Additionally, fertilizer is something they need very little of- you don't want to fertilize more than once a week with very little fertilizer so as not to burn the roots.
I hope you get to see your orchid bloom soon!
It is in a bright location, not a lot of sunlight lately, it has 1 flower bud so far so I am keeping my fingers crossed, thanks for you help, it is appreciated.
