Cut stem of orchid?
If there are any buds forming on the stem leave it the way it is. If all of the flowers had faded and dropped I would research the variety of orchid you have, it usually depends on the type of orchid. The variety that I have grows a new stem.
Reply:You will have to find out what variety of orchid you have before you do anything to it. If it's a monopodial orchid (one growing point, no pseudobulbs), you should not cut off the stem. If it's a sympodial orchid (multiple growing points emerging from the pseudobulb), you may cut off the tip of the stem with no significant damage.
