Orchid Question

[Microman]

I know those Orchids they sell here in Southern California, may not be your typical orchid. But Question.

This long stem lost all of its bloom, flower, leaves, etc.

I give it 5 ice cubes a week.

I give it some type of orchid fertilizer spray once a month.

Now this long flowerless stem is growing up about a foot or longer and is getting buds on the end. All of the older places where there were flowers are just places that use to be.

So am I going to have a nice flower plant with a very long stem. Am I suppose to trim the stem, or hope that another starts growing from the base.

Oh, and when will my Apple Stock go back up to 140?

Orchids need VERY little water. I'm wondering 5 ice cubes a week is too much.
