Default Best way of keeping snapped orchid stem

Indoor orchid stem with five nice developing buds has accidentally just been
snapped off.

We have put it in a vase of water. Is it best to:

1. just change fresh water regularly
2. sprinkle a little phostrogen in the water
3. years ago i read putting in a couple of copper coins in the water was a
good idea?

Grateful for any advice on the above and any other suggestions. Thanks.
