Default Phal fertilizing question

I have the most gorgeous Phal. It has bloomed for more than four
months. The flowers are just now starting to fade.

I understand that it will bloom again in about six months?

I have been feeding it at every watering per instructions on orchid
food jar. Something like 1/8 tsn fertilizer to 1 quart water.

Do I continue to fertilize even when it isn't blooming?

Do I cut off the flower spikes when the blooms are gone?

As you can tell, I know next to nothing about orchids except that I
think I'm hooked and will be buying a few more soon.

Thanks

Jane
