It depends a lot on what type of orchid it is. Some will generate new flowering stems quite easily under household conditions and others will be far more likely to require more specialized, greenhouse conditions.

As noted, moth orchids or Phalaenopsis are more easily inclined to generate new flowering growth indoors than just about any other type. The spent flowering stem also does not necessarily need to be cut back to the base. Cutting above a viable node will typical encourage new growth from the existing stem that will then flower.

Thank you, @gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9). That is good information for me in the future.

a plant flowers to create seed to reproduce.... often.. generally.. plants bloom once per year ...

your plant will bloom in a year.. it is not the type of plant the is going to rebloom ...

the only help you can give is proper watering.. with near drying in between... and proper fert.. more fert will not speed up the biological clock ...

there is only one cure for your problem.. patience ...

and with all those windows.. its time to buy a plant rack or two.. and start collecting a whole bunch more of plants to entertain you.. while this one gets it act together for next time...

i see now.. its already been a year... perhaps it will get excited when the sun starts ascending this spring... do move it closer to a window.. but not in direct southern sunlight.. without hardening off... often more light will trigger a houseplant to flower...

I just spoke with a friend Friday who’s had luck with orchids. She indicated that they should not be grown in dirt or soil, but rather a bark type media (I believe) and that they like to be in a cool window. My neighbor grows hers in a south facing window which is warm in summer, but In the winter they are still there next to the chilly glass. Maybe the chill while they are dormant helps with eventual bloom. I am not an expert, just offering what others have told me.

It doesn't look like a Phalaenopsis orchid to me. If you know what type it is, Google that variety and you should find lots of information about care. I only know about Phals, and can't help you, sorry.

There is virtually no doubt the orchid in question is a Phalaenopsis. And this is one of the very few commonly grown orchids that will reliably bloom under household - and not greenhouse - conditions.
