As another answerer has said, if your plant is green and the leaves healthy (no black or yellow spots) then your orchid is fine, it just finished blooming for the season.
You can have your orchid bloom again with proper care. Orchid roots like a "close" pot so you probably do not need to re pot your plant. Do not add dirt or garden mix to the pot. orchids need their own medium (usually decaying wood chips and moss,) your plant probably came in its medium and is fine, but if you think it needs more, go to a nursery and buy an orchid potting mix. Do buy some specialized orchid food (it is not expensive) it is often in pellet form and you simply place them around your plant. Find a sunny warm place for your orchid and it keep it humid (spray don't water, the leaves) but do not let the roots get wet (damp is OK / soggy is not) they will rot. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it isn't really, if you follow the basic care for your orchid:

it will bloom again - if not this next year, then the year after. (remember to talk to it.)

Ive had particularly some orchids interior the final couple of years and so a procedures all yet one have re-flowered returned. some human beings say you may desire to diminish the stem off, which I easily have executed on some, however the single that has flowered the appropriate for me is the single I easily have purely left. I stick them on a window sill that isn't close to a radiator or gets to a lot direct sunlight and then water them when I undergo in innovations! i do no longer assume getting some orchid food will harm the two ( I easily have offered this yet by some skill it on no account makes it to the quite vegetation). Its well worth keeping it and taking of project it is going to flower returned.

Miracle Gro makes a rooting powder. If any part of it is still alive, this could make it take root. At any Home Depot or possibly yr grocery. Be careful - use gloves and goggles.

If the plant is alive and it's just the flower that is dead, then yes. Your plant is just resting. My Mum has had the same plants for years and years.

only if the roots are still alive. and then you would need to cut all of the old plant off of the top and repot the roots with fresh soil.
