A couple of simple newb questions

I bought an Orchid from Lowes over a year ago and truly enjoy its beauty. So far, Ive only guessed at the proper care of it. Apparantly I mustve done something right because its still alive and just bloomed this past month for the second time. I guess my questions are these: How often should it bloom, How can I maximize the number of blooms and the one thing I looked for, But couldnt find out, What are the growths coming under the leaves? They appear to be new stalks. I positioned them so they could receive light, but they seemed to have stalled and kind of died. Thanx

Oh, The Orchid I have is the Moth Orchid

OK, After reading several of the posts here, I believe the growths I have are air roots. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? At one point over the past year, My leaves became wrinkled and sickly looking. What caused this? theyre now healthy and firm and several more have grown over the past year.
