What could be wrong with my orchid?

My orchid was doing really well then one of the leaves fell off. A few days after that the blooms on one side started to droop and they fell off, a few days later all of the blooms on one side had fallen off. There are two blooms left on one side. What could the problem be? Is there anything I can do to save it/bring it back?

You could be overwatering. Check to see that it has good drainage.
Reply:Be careful when watering ur orchid. Try not to get water in between the leaf and the stalk. If you do dry it with a paper towel gently. Water once a week.
Reply:Orchids are sensitive to watering, since they are tropicals. Orchids respond best to misting with water, as opposed to direct watering on their roots. Do make sure your plant has plenty of spagnum moss to protect it's roots, and has loose rocks at the bottom of the container, to allow proper drainage.
