They usually only bloom once a year. Light is really important for blooming, as is fertilizer. What is it growing in? Looks like it might be moss, and that’s not ideal. Orchid bark mix is much better. I’ve also had better luck with my phals blooming when I cut the old flower stalks back and let them grow new ones.

Agree with Leafittome — I would check the roots and trim any that are unwell, repot into orchid bark and ensure you fertilize with an orchid fertilizer according to the timetables recommended on the fertilizer :)

Other than that, patience in between blooms — they take a while but are so worth it 🤩

Good luck!!!

They bloom once or twice a year. When it begins to bloom, flowers will be on it for at least two months before falling off. Orchids require much patience.

I'm fairly new and young to the orchid proces but I already have three. So y'all are saying to repot resoil and trim?? Btw ty for feedback

If it’s never been repotted since it was purchased, then I’d recommend doing that. If you’ve never trimmed the stem since the flowers fell off, do that as well.
