New to orchids

[dslewis18]

My mother had an orchid for years and when she passed away I took it over. It bloomed for about 5 months with large white blossoms. I was told to cut it back and I did. New leaves grew, and along with the new leaves came what looked like new stems. But I don't think they are stems. Could they be roots. The orchid is quite tall and seems to be in good condition. I just don't know what to do next.

Thanks

It sounds like you have Pahalaenopsis. You can tell by the big wide leaves growing off a center stem.

These new growths are most probably roots this time of year. They bloom once a year after a chill sets the flowers (nights 20 degrees colder than day temps)

It sounds like you are doing everything well so with what is working.
