Hisjazzy is on a distinguished road
Red face When a Bloom Falls Off...?

I have a (Paph. Supersuk "Eureka" AM/AOS x Paph Raisin Pie "Hsinying") x Sib.
It came to me on March 16 with a lovely bloom. I watered and fertilized according to your good directions. I assume that it was simply time for the bloom to fall off this last week but I am now concerned as to if and when I should cut back the stem. The plant has the cut remains of one other stem so I can see how far down to cut, I am just afraid of cutting it too soon. It is also showing signs of new leaf growth at the back, yippee! Thanks again for your helpful guidance.

you can cut the stem now it is unimportant to the plant. You can cut as low as you want.

With a third pup on the way it sounds very healty.

Next year you might hope for two or more stems.
