I inherited a almost dead orchid.

If the stems are completely dead, just cut them off. If you want it to bloom again, you must be patient; they bloom once or twice a year. I have mine in a south-facing bathroom with plenty of light. Don't over-water it. I just give mine a couple of tablespoons of water twice a week. (3X when it's hot out). If it grows new leaves, sometimes the bottom ones will die. just wait for them to shrivel and then gently pull them off.

I had one of these too. Cut off any dead stems or blooms, and wait, wait, wait. Mine took almost 2 years to bloom again, not sure why, but then it bloomed more often.

First of all it depends on the kind of orchid you have inherited. Orchids will teach you patience but there are things that you can do. I wrote a whole review on orchids and how to keep them happy. You will find that article right here:
