I do my orchid repotting if needed after blooms are done. Except for Phals since it goes on in bloom for months. My Zygo goes in bloom for about a month, then I cut off the spike after it is done blooming. I use miracle gro orchid mist fertilizer for my orchids. But as I have mentioned earlier soometimes I am remiss with it. What I find is a good combination of proper watering and good air circulation around the plant helps a lot. Especially here in our very dry area, got to step up watering during our dry and hot periods. What you would want to see later after blooming is over is for the plant to make new pseudobulbs, that is where your new flower spikes will grow from.
