I love orchids and have really good luck with them.
When the flowers drop off, cut the spike back to the elbow. Then remove the orchid to a darker, cooler area and leave it there for a couple of weeks. Continue watering obviously and it has to get enough light/warmth to stay alive.l Then return the orchid to a brighter area and it should flower. At least, that\'s how it has worked out for me. I only have one orchid remaining that my ex didn\'t kill but it has two flowering spikes right now and a third that has 3 buds about to open up.
Orchids are not very strong smelling flowers. In fact, most are almost devoid of scent. There are some varieties that do smell good, but in general they\'re more for look than smell. I did have one plant with small yellow flowers, bright orange in the middle, that smelled incredible... but it was a very rare variety. I forget the name.
