Default What to do with flower stalks

A newbiw question - I have several phalanopsis, dendrobiums, and, oncydiums
that finished blooming about a month ago. The flower stalks are brown and
dry. Should I cut them off, leave them, or what? Thanks.

Welcome Peter, Sounds like you have a good collection going there for a
newbie?
You have done the right thing. Now would be the time to cut the old dead
spikes.
My mentor told me this is the best time to cut as you will not spread any
viruses.
Cheers Wendy

If they are dead clip 'em off.

Thanks, Wendy, I will follow your advice. Note - my "collection" = 4 orchids
so far but I am sure that will change!
