Orchid - All in Bloom!

The orchid my mother had in her nursing home window always seemed to be blooming - unlike the orchid I had in my classroom during my teaching days.

Inspired by my mother's success, I purchased this small orchid last year. It bloomed for a while, dropped its petals - and now it's blooming again... In fact, all the buds are now in bloom!

Not sure how that happened... though I love looking at it during these grey winter days.

But I'm left wondering:

  • How much should I water it? 
  • Should I fertilize it? 
  • Should I transplant it into a larger pot once the blooming ends? 
  • Or should I simply water it once a week as I have been doing and leave the pot and soil as is?!
