It should be ok,Grandmage..and a lovely two tone..I always cut my stems off to the bottom,as I've never had any success cutting them to a lower bud...they just don't grow from that point again for me...lucky you Homebird..:o)

Stick at it Grandmage. Once you work out where in the house they are happiest you'll be sorted!

Maybe you don't wait long enough,G.mage ? .Mine is about 6 months before I see that first little stem appearing again....north facing window would be ideal,if you have one..have a look at a blog by Spritzhenry,2009,called 'Awkward Orchids'..she is an expert on them..lovely pics too..:o)
