I first got this plant from my mom, she got it at work, and she had flowers on her at first, but then they fell off! But they are blooming soon! I'm so excited!

Flowers on an orchid aren’t meant to last forever- it’s part of their natural cycle to wither. The plant then focuses on vegetative growth. But in time with good care, she will bloom again.
