When the flowers die and you want new flowers bring the orchid in full sun and it will store alot of energy and it will flower again in 3 months, the kind of soil it likes is a soil that is high in nutrients and make sure to put perlite for drainage.

Orchids don't like direct light so don't put it in a window sill because it will get too much sunlight. Just water it once a week and feed it Orchid food once a month.
