Orchid plants only bloom once a year. But the blooms last for about 2-3 months.

Assuming that you have a phalaenopsis orchid which is commonly grown indoors - those orchids require a consistent drop in temperature at night to initiate a flowering spike. This most commonly occur in autumn where the temperature is warmer in daytime and colder at nightime.
Once you see a spike develop, position the orchid to a brighter room in your house to ensure the spike turns into a flowering spike and not a keiki - a baby orchid. A keiki is formed in warmer condition.

First, ensure it is getting plenty of light. You can buy orchid food to ensure the proper nutrients are there for it to flower. DO NOT overwater the orchid. The fastest way to kill an orchid is to overwater. The ambient temperature also has to be somewhat warm to bloom, but the most likely problem is lack of enough light.

It depends on the variety of orchid. Some will require a change in temperature to rebloom, others fertilizer. Give your orchid plenty of light - like near a southern window (or northern window if you are south of the equator). Orchids like humidity. Don't forget to fertilize.
