New Phaph Not Happy

[Lagoon]

Bonjour Orchid lover

Looks like your bloom is fading away - natural course.
You'll have to wait til it grows new fans to mature for the orchid to bloom again.

Very pretty blossom

Very nice paph you've got. As has been mentioned, since you bought it in bloom, there is no way to know how long it has been in flower. Looks to me like it is nearing the end of it's blooming. Nothing to be concerned about. Just cut the stem back, give it a lot of TLC, and enjoy next year's flowering.

The bloom has kicked the bucket now I can;t seem to find out where to cut the spike Can someone give me some advice? Do they bloom twice in a year, probably not It was beautiful while it lasted!!! Hopeing to hear from you. Thank you guys!!!

Cut down near center of the fan of leaves. Doesn't matter how far down, cause that fan will die off eventually. Next you should see at least one, hopefully two new sprouts at botom of the bloomed fan of leaves. These will be next blooms, one day. No, you won't get another blossom off that spike, so cut away.

Just thought i would mention that beside the Paph flower now having lived it's part of life. The yellow, very bottom leaf is showing brown on it as well. Is this part normal, when a leaf is dying? As i saaid before all the other leaves are semierect and fine. I noticed that there is a tiny new leave or whatever, slowly emerging within the top of the leaves where the stem emerges from the leaves. That is also good news right?! Let me know what you thik! THank you very muchly!!
