# Hello everyone👋 (new parent over here) I received this beautiful as…

_Posted by Susana on 2024-01-22_

Hello everyone👋 (new parent over here)  
I received this beautiful as a gift on last October, this is my first orchid in my life and it’s been doing pretty good, sadly after Christmas it accidentally fell down from my plant stand and it broke some flowers (it had 9 blooms before and now I’m left with 2 of them)  
I really don’t know what to do, if I have to do something about it or just wait?  
Please any advice or suggestions will be appreciated 🙏  
Thank you!

This is the before/after pictures

There’s nothing to be done. Your flowers would have eventually faded and dropped anyway. Your accident just rushed the process a bit. Enjoy the couple of blooms you have left and when they drop, it’s a good time to repot a new orchid.
