Unhappy I am new!

The only thing I am really good at it seems is killing orchids. Once the blooms drop, the stalk turns yellow and eventually dies and I don't know wht I am doing or how to save it...HELP!

we will be happy to help.

we need to know the family at least of theorchids you want to raise and the conditions in which you are trying.

Examples phalaenopsis are indoor plants and cattleyas and dendrobiums like more light outdoors. this is very general and phlas can be outside in total shade and cats indoors with supplimental light to encourage blooms. But I hope you get my point.

come back with what you want to grow and the conditions where you want it and we can start giving advice.

that just means the flowers are done. is the rest of the plant green? then you haven't killed it. given the moderatley right conditions it can grow another stalk and bloom again.
