The flower on my orchid died, but the rest of the plant is okay. But now no flower will grow back!?!?

What can I do to get the flower to grow again?

Don't panic.



First, you should try to identify the type of orchid you have. See the link below to try to help identify your orchid. Once you know the general type it is, you can get information about care and flowering.



Important: Do not cut off the branch that it bloomed on. With some orchids, once the flower is gone, the flower spike dies too. However, some orchids will put out a new branch on the old flower spike and will bloom on that, in addition to putting up a new flower spike.



Take good care of your orchid. After flowering, it probably needs to rest for a little bit, so don't start giving it fertilizers designed to get it to bloom again. Depending on the type of orchid and how often it blooms, you may want to give it a couple of months up to a year before you start providing it with flowering conditions again.



Don't give up hope for the flower to come. Orchids take their own time - we have some orchids that we have had for years that have yet to bloom, and others which bloom every year.



Good luck.
Reply:yes but depending on the type it might take a while I have several species that only bloom and flower once/year.
