Newbie needing help

Hi, I was given an orchid for Easter and it has been dropping it's flowers. So now it's time to cut.....I have two (2) shafts one has lost all of it's flowers, but the other has some blooms still on it. Do I wait for both shafts to become bare before I cut or do I do one at a time?
Love learning new plants. I'm from Rhode Island.

Hi Barb and welcome to the forum. Great people here with lots of information. As Fred
stated it would be helpful to know what type of orchid you have.
