No, the canes that have flowered should remain. They store water for the plant. At some distant point they may shrivel and die naturally. Then you can carefully remove them.

Am I missing something here? I cannot see any replies to the questions! I have just received one of these orchids for mothers day, so the information requested would be very helpful. I have other orchids but they are different to this one.

this was very helpfull. i’ve had my orchid for almost a year now but it still won’t bloom. i do have a preety good green thumb but thats it. i’m no good at getting blooms only green. so anyway my orchid has now produced two new shoots one of wich i cut off because the leaves kept curling under themselfs and made it look horrible. i’ll try the frige thing and putting it outside. my only concern is the slugs.

Should the old canes be cut off? I have 4 old canes and one brand new one. Thanks.
