Hello WZ, and Welcome!
But--no-no-no Don't cut any leaves! Orchids don't work that way!!
The plant needs to be in good health, with strong roots and leaves, in order to bloom.
They also will sometimes bloom if they are dying--a last ditch effort to reproduce before they go.
Your Phalaenopsis orchid needs some changes to keep it healthy. They make great houseplants, but have some very specific cultural needs. If you want to keep this one going, you have a lot to learn! Start by not cutting the leaves!
Also, fertilizer is not your first priority. Get the plant established in a proper pot, with orchid media (bark for me), and the right amount of light. When it starts showing new growth, then you should give it very small amounts of a complete orchid fertilizer.
OK, this is getting too long. More details on repotting will follow, don't start quite yet, until you really know how to do it right.
Repeat: Phalaenopsis orchids make great houseplants! Time to get started getting this one up to speed!
