@AliveMendoza Hello 👋 and welcome to Greg, Killol!
Your orchid should produce a new stem or two. This looks like a Phalaenopsis Orchid, is that correct?
When flower spikes break, you can cut them right above the break. If you would like to save the flowers, you can put the disconnected spike in a vase that’s filled with water. Cutting the remaining flower spike right down to the base will encourage your orchid to have new growths because it will not spend energy on nourishing that broken flower spike.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait too long for your orchids to bloom and flower again, you can try cutting the spike and leaving the rest on the plant. Provided that their nodes are healthy, the orchids might bloom again. If the stem does die back, you will need to cut it from the base and wait for a new flower spike to grow.
Cutting Orchid’s Flower Spike
Orchid growers will advise you to cut down the flower spike if the flowers have faded back and wilted. Rather than keep a bald flower spike on your plant, you can cut it back and allow the orchid to devote its energy to growing a new flower spike, blooms, and flowers.
When Should You Cut the Flower Spike?
The thing with orchids and their flower spikes is that one flower spike can mean that your plant will be blooming for several months and even up to a year, especially with a Phalaenopsis, where new blooms can appear even after flowers have opened.
You only cut a flower spike after the flowers have died, and no new growth appears on it. Another reason why you shouldn’t cut a flower spike is when a Keiki appears. The Keiki is the orchid’s baby, and it needs to be connected to the mother plant until its roots are formed.

This isn’t a phal as it has canes. It looks like it’s possibly a dendrobium, though I might be wrong as I don’t have experience of this type of orchid. Hopefully someone who knows this type of orchid will be able to help. Do you know anyone that could help @TwistedThreads?
Hay kristy ... hope you r well ... i post one more pic of my orchid. This is old pic when i brought it. I cut spikes after flowring and after that it is like this only since last 6-7 months. No new spiks there. I m from india and this is a summer weather here. Almost 40-45 dig out side temp.
