How do you get orchids to flower again? I never have any luck.

The easiest one to get to rebloom is the phaleanopsis. It’s also the easiest to grow in northern climates which is why there are so many of them in the shops. If it is already in bloom, when the flowers fall cut the flower stem back by 2/3 just above one of the joints. After that it’s all about light, and moisture and that the roots do not rot. I never fertilize.
