How to cut an orchid stem?

Are you supposed to cut the stem off after the flowers on an orchid plant die?

  • Answer:

    Some orchids require you to cut them to encourage reblooming. Certain species should be cut with a sterile tool just above where the stem grows out of the leaf and bulb. Reference a plant book or store to make sure of what type of orchid you have!
