Suffolk,
United Kingdom 
I have a lovely orchid that my daughter gave me before Christmas I have it in a cool light hall and just give it a little water. It is still looking good but some of the little buds at he end of stems are drying out. Please any thing can do or is there a feed that I can get to keep it going. It is not the usual upright orchid , it has tiny flowers along curved stems, but guess same rules for all orchids. thanks for any help.

Yes thats good what you do with your Orchids but Sandra you still need to feed them.
I Vitax Orchid growth feed and Vitax in bloom feed.
In growth when the blooms are finished .

Go to O at the bottom of the page and then choose orchids, the blog by the member Spritzhenry helped me to keep mine healthy and to get repeat flowering.
Lots of other help there too

If thats works for you MG thats fine to.
And my way works excellent for me to and had many reblooms over the years.

mine have been re-flowering without feed for a couple of years now. maybe its because i have spring water in my taps. but i say whatever works for you. :-)

What type of Orchid is you got from your daughter?
I have moved my dends to my kitchen window sill.
Where they shall get more light.
But have to say orchids do not like the cold.
