Questions don't get any more newb than these, lol. They weren't easily found using the search button so, I'm just going to ask.

So I finally got my orchid to bloom. One of the blooms has been open for about 3 weeks now and is still going strong so now I'm curious as to how much longer it's gonna last. So, how long do Phalaenopsis (I think that's what I have anyway) last?

Also, after the bloom goes bye-bye, what do I do then? Cut the stem (would that be "spike"?) off? Would I do this at the very bottom?

Thanks in advance for any help!
