how do my orchids make more orchids?

I don't what is standard. If you poke around the website for the Meyers Conservatory, you'll see that they charge about $122 plus shipping. That's kind of a lot, but you get three flasks with 75 total plants.

Keep in mind, that most orchids take years before they are bloom size.

But, a mature (a few years after becoming bloom size) sympodial orchid may get many new growths a year - and can be divided to create "new plants". Oncidium alliance, in my experience, are often extremely robust growers. I have a few, that even after just 3 years , have become impossible to contain in a pot for long.
