What to do with an orchid after flowering - options
The easiest way is to do nothing. Leave the arrow, allowing it to dry out on its own and give nutrients to the plant. So what happens if you create an orchid with an appropriate rest period:

- stop fertilizer;
- placed in a cool, bright room;

By the way, if the plant requires replacement of the soil - this is the most favorable period. Care for orchid after flowering should be, as in the period of the triumph of its beauty, carefully.
Human intervention is required if the plant has thrown flowers, and the arrow does not dry out, continues to grow. But if the peduncle is long, and the bud is formed only at the very top and one, it may be better to shorten or trim the arrow. Moreover, there is a rule that the lower the floral shoot is, the longer it will be. After cutting, a new flower spike will appear in 2-3 months. That is why, to continue flowering, the green peduncle must be cut above the second or third lower bud. A stump in 1-1,5 cm above the sleeping kidney will prevent its drying. If the peduncle is cut off at the base, then a new one is formed much later.
Consider the arrow carefully, there are nodules on it - dormant buds. They can give rise to children, and can throw away a new flower arrow, continuing flowering with a side shoot. Therefore, you need to cut 1.5 cm above the kidney, giving it a chance for development.
A new flower shoot can grow from a bud and it will continue the emergence of new “butterflies”.If leaves with air roots are formed, this is breeding material, babies. What grows up is a mystery. Not always, but it happens, the baby develops instead of escape. This is a wise mother nature has foreseen the continuation of the species, if the plant had problems in the root system. Sometimes this is due to a temperature disturbance during the rest of the plant.
Orchid bloomed, what to do next to get the kids? You need to know exactly the type of flower. Not all shooters can participate in breeding. This is a varietal feature. But the arrows can be used for grafting, and get a new plant from dormant buds. Condition one, each part must contain at least one sleeping kidney. The survival rate will not be complete, but you can get a new plant. They should be kept in a moist environment on a bed of moss, in a greenhouse at a temperature of 25-27 degrees.
It happens that a depleted flowering bush begins to turn yellow. Rescue measures must be taken. Then cut off the spike should be below all buds, with a hemp of 1.5 - 2 cm and give the plant a rest period. If cut higher, a new flower stalk will appear, and the plant will finally weaken. During the rest period, the shooters can take power on themselves, and the formation of new flower stalks will be slow.

Why did the flower spike prematurely dry?
Flower spike is a temporary process on which flowers are located. Therefore, if it began to dry in the midst of flowering or earlier, you should find the cause. It is necessary to determine whether watering is sufficient. This will tell the roots. They should be green without mold. Wet roots should not be dry and pale too.
Any care for the root system includes washing, pruning and disinfecting the roots. If the roots are green - the plant develops. Light silver roots indicate that the plant is on holiday.
A flooded flower needs to be transplanted into a fresh substrate after revision and removal of diseased areas. If the matter is a lack of moisture, watering should be increased, but without excesses. An attentive grower clearly distinguishes the shades of the leaves, observes the condition of the roots and notices the slightest deviations from the norm in time.
