hii peoplee ive got more orchid questions! i got this orchid a very long time ago and it was left forgotten in a bedroom window unfortunately. i started fixing it up a few months ago and i changed out the bark and watered it as much as i water my bigger moth orchid because i BELIEVE that’s what this is, it hasn’t had flowers in a very long time so its hard to be sure. I’ve checked the roots quite recently, they seemed healthy and i cut the dead one out so im not sure what the issue is but this plant just wont grow anything but leaves. 😞 the leaves have grown a lot, theyre a lot brighter and a lot bigger but i just cant get it to grow a little plantlet or flower. someone please help so i can grow this little baby again.

For now it just needs time. Orchids like to have a certain amount of leaf before they flower. Yours will probably want 2 or 3 new leaves before it blooms. Other than that, make sure it's getting all its needs met. Once it has 3 or 4 full size healthy leaves, you can encourage flower growth by giving it a temperature change on a day/night cycle. They also like having their top roots exposed to air

Orchids also take a long time to bloom in general a lot bloom once a year and need a resting period
