Keep the bark moist (I usually put mine under a soft spray of lukewarm water for a couple of minutes) Give them a bit of orchid food every couple of weeks, if the plant is healthy they sometimes start to develop buds on the green stems (I had a couple that re bloomed that way) If the stem does die back , keep maintaining the plant, they will produce some new leaves and if they are happy, they will bloom again.
