my first orchid - i think i ruined it
 

hello

I just got my first orchid as a gift from my mother in law .. i had placed it at first next to the balcony and the other day when i was going out to the balcony with my cousin i broke the stem by mistake .. it didnt completely break or fall off, only partially break .. so i placed it back up again and clipped it to the stick that comes with it with a small hair clip..

today i woke up and found that each flower has one petal that curled in.

im afraid i ruined the orchid or killed it..

anyone here gone through the same and can send an advise on what to do?

please see pictures attached ..

thank you and have a good day

Welcome Moe. :)
Your plant is not only the flowers and it won't die just because the flower spike is broken. If the blooms will live or not it's really hard (or impossible) to say. Just wait and see.
As I said before, the plant won't die because of it. Take good care of it and it will bloom again.

Go to the left yellow menu, choose Forums, choose Beginners, and start reading the sticky thread near the top The Phal abuse stops here.

Isn't it awfully cold for a phal on a balcony in Canada this time of year?

That was my first thought as well...

No i don't have it outside on the balcony .. its on the inside but next to the balcony door.
