Flower Drop

Hi everyone,
I'm newbie from England. Can anyone please help? While I was on a two week holiday I left my husband in charge of my phal which had four flowers on the stem, when I got back they had all dropped and the stem had started to go brown. Is this normal or has he damaged the plant. I have cut the stem just below where it has gone brown and just above a node but I've read conflicting reports that the stem should be cut as high up as possible but also low down, about an inch, from the leaves, which is correct?
Thank you for any help you can give me and I look forward to learning from you all.
Marion
