Lady Slipper Orchid


Question
I have had this Orchid for about a year and it was blooming when I bought it.  Then Winter came and all the flowers fell off.  I thought that when spring came around it would start blooming.  Maybe I am doing something wrong. Do I need to trim it?  Am I watering it wrong? I don't know.  Can you give me some advise, please.  Thank you so much, Lena

Answer
Hi Lena,
Thanx for your question.  I'm not an expert with orchids but I found a useful link.

It seems the plant should not be allowed to dry out in between watering.  Also, to induce blooming, the temperature needs to be somewhat low for a while.  Check the link out and I hope this helps.
Tom
