Orchid care?

I have had an orchid for 14months. It flowered beautifully at first but I cannot get it to reflower. I water it once a week by spraying it. I have trimmed the tips back to the next 'eye'. It has grown a new leaf but there is no new growth on the stems. I have drop fed it three times. Some of the tips are now turning pink/red. Are they dying. Please help. I kept it in my room (bright, no direct sun), kept in the bathroom (darker but humid) and in the living room (brighter sun). Where should I keep it


Thanks

Orchid care?
It depends upon the type of orchid you have. They are not all the same, nor do they require the same things.





Here is a link to help you.

Look at Orchid Culture Sheets for the one you have. Yes, GardenWeb is a good source as well.
Reply:Good luck. Mine did the same exact thing and died.





Its in moss right? Or something other than dirt? I got it at Lowes. Yeah. They are tricky for the novice to keep alive.





Never mind getting it to bloom again. Go to Gardenweb.com.





Ask there. Just register and ask. Lots of friendly people can help you there. Good luck.
