Orchid stem partially broke. Any suggestions on how to save it? I have a splint on the stem for now. It’s barely hanging on but still connected.

I would say just cut it. It will re- grow a flower spike with proper care. I follow Ms Orchid (YouTube) advice and my orchids bloom almost year round for me.

Mine bloom twice a year. My flowers have lasted up to 6 months.
