Default New plant & orchid owner...How do I remove faded flowers

I clip the flowers off when they begin to fade so that the plant doesn't
waste energy making seeds.


Making seeds??? A flower will develop into a seed capsule only if it has
been polinated, and the chances of a windowsill Phal being polinated are
close to zero.
