My poor mini orchid got a ton of mealy bugs while I was away and it’s flowers all died, any tips to encourage them to grow back? I got rid of the mealy bug problem but I’m sad the flowers died off.

You’ll just need to focus on making sure you’ve completely eradicated the mealy bugs and that they didn’t spread to any other plants. Keep a close eye on them for another month. With proper care your plant may not be too set back and it’ll grow another spike in its regular growth pattern.
