I cut off an orchid last year about half way and it grew a new limb and this year it had the most beautiful orchids on it. Where do I cut this year when the time comes?

Hello. Click on the link below. This guide gives specifics on when and where to cut your orchid plant in order to grow others. Good luck!

Once the flower fades, see if that stem dies back, if it does, cut it close to the leaves. If part or all stays green and healthy, leave it until part or whole dies back in the future. It is possible to get flowers off the old stem if it stays alive. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and will grow another flower stem. I hope this helps! I have had them sprout flowers or even grow a new stem off the old for flowers.
