It died last year in Winter. Will it grow a new one this spring? Should I remove the dead stem?

If the stem is brown, cut it off---if it stays green leave it alone. It will eventually grow new stems with buds. Most of my orchids only bloom once or twice a year--just let them do their thing, and you will be pleasantly surprised1

Sometimes new buds will emerge on the stem, sometimes they won't. If the stem is still green and flexible, I'd leave it. If it's brown and brittle, cut it off. Either way, the orchid will eventually throw up a new stem.

I'm no expert, but when my orchid loses it's flowers and the stem dies I cut it down as it dires out and turns brown. A couple of months later it blooms again.

as long through fact the spike remains green pass away it on my own. The flowers often final 3-5 months. those plant life love humidity so supply it a misting with a sprig bottle often happening if attainable. Now that the flowers are long gone be optimistic to feed it with "Orchid " fertilizer each and every 2d or third watering. I placed mine interior the bathe as quickly as a week perfect once I get out and permit it sit down interior the warmth humidity. as long as that's getting a minimum of 6 hours of vivid gentle an afternoon and you water and feed often you will possibly get greater blooms in approximately 6 months. do not fertilize it while that's blooming. that's a tropical so use room temp. water and bear in recommendations it likes heat temperature and humidity. stable success!!

orchids are perrenial plants. that means they die ecery winter/fall and flower again once spring comes. Do not cut the stem off, leave it, and new buds should appear on it shortly.

orchid flowers are a very beautiful and delicate flower. they do die only in winter. they will grow back in the summer however, to increase the life expentancy of this flower mix clear gatorade with lemon juice and your flowers will live up to 4 months longer! goodluck!
