Hi! So this orchid originally came in a pot without drainage. All the flowers have fell off, so we repotted it into a nursery pot. Any tips would be appreciated to get it back to blooming !

Agreed :( if you do want to try orchids again, it’s normal for their blooms to fall off eventually. They usually start blooming in autumn when the temperatures decrease and drop their blooms in spring. During the summer, they focus on root/leaf growth.

mine (in NE Pennsylvania) send out their spikes late in fall and start actually blooming sometime around march, and start dropping the blooms in early July pretty reliably year after year. I always cut the spikes after the bloom and consistently get more blooms each year. good luck if you try again!
