Need tips for Phalaenopsis Care
Default Need tips for Phalaenopsis Care

Hey all!
So I bought my phalaenopsis orchid not long ago probably around summertime and, after lots of research, have been trying to do as much as I can to get my orchid to rebloom again. I've changed the watering routine to soaking it in a bowl every 7-10 days instead of using ice cubs and I also use a 19-31-17 Schultz Fertilizer for orchids. I follow the instructions on the bottle which says "Add 0.75 g (1/2 scoop) per 2.5 L of lukewarm water every time you water."
I've also cut the two stems it has after blooming: one all the way to the base because it fully turned brown and the other I cut first above the node underneath where the brown colour stopped on the stem, but then a month or so later (probably in August) I cut the stem again above the second node of the stem itself because I was scared it wasn't getting enough energy or something. (Yeah.. Was that a bad idea?) OH! and I added cinamon to the cut because apperantly that's what you're supposed to do?
Anyway, it hasn't grown any new spike and I'm just waiting, but all I want to know from all you lovely people is maybe a few helpful tips? Anything I should do/change?
I would love your feedback.
I've also added two pictures. One to show my orchid and where it's placed so that you guys know how much light it gets and the other to show the cut stem.
THANK YOU GUYS!
