| Paph. bloom gone Hi, The bloom on my Paph. has dropped off. I can't find anything that tells me to, (or not to), cut the flower stem. Should I cut it and if so, how far down? Thanks, Tess      |

| With any orchid you can cut the stem after the flower has gone or leave it. The plant will not care. Most people cut the stem since it looks better without it. Only Phalaenopsis can grow addition flowers on an old stem and even here most commercial growers cut the stem off to conserve plant energy.
