Is my Orchid dead?

I was given an orchid (not sure what kind) but it had tiny 'tiger striped' flowers - they have died and the 'flower branch' is brown - do I cut that? the leaves are green so don't believe it's dead but do I trim off th dead flower stem and will it grow back? (It's a 1800 flower kinda orchid) thanks

Is my Orchid dead?
The orchid is not dead. Water it, fertilize it about once a month. Should begin to grow a new branch or leaf. You can cut off the brown branch or just leave it alone. You should get new flowers in about 3 months. Make sure it gets plenty of sun and has a good amount of bark. If the pot is plastic, you might repot it into an "orchid pot" which has holes on the sides.
Reply:no, leave flowers pods on help reproduce more flowers,and to be careful you not cutting to early maybe wait till after knew flowers to cut woody bits ,like un sure what season your in


but iam guessing winter,like i tend to leave my orchids.alone when it come to prunning and they go wild
Reply:Is it any of these?


Once you know what t is it may help you care for it better.
