Re blooming my orchid

My orchid was doing great but then within 1 week, all of the flowers fell off. I am at a loss! Do I need to fertilize my orchid? I give it 3 to 4 icecubes once a week. Is that enough? I see a few tiny buds on my plant but that’s about it. Can u help me? I love my orchids! Thank U for any suggestions u can give me.
Sincerely, Karen Grant

When the Orchid is done flowering, the flowers will drop off. This is the natural aging process of the Orchid.
It then goes into a dormancy period.

Here are some articles that will give you care information.
