i have a lady slipper and i think it got bud blast when it was in bloom(all the flowers fell off at the same time, i think i let it go dry for too long) well i repotted it, and now am wondering if i should resume normal watering and care

Most slipper orchids should be kept evenly moist (do not let go dry). Hopefully you put it into a media that will retain a fair amount of moisture. Yes, after potting I would pretty much resume your normal care routine.

Flaorchid,

What kind of slipper orchid is it? I'm guessign a multi-floral if it has multiple flowers. Mayres is right, most slippers (both Paphs and Phrags especially) should not be allowed to dry out completely.

Cheers
