not sure what to do now


Question
Hello, I bought my orchid a few years ago and it has done very good. I had a baby and admit I neglected it a bit and it got very dry. It is still alive and I have been watering it and put it back into its favorite spot but so far if is just sitting and not growing anything.  Just a green stem.  Should I feed it something and if so what is good. I don't know what kind it is does that make a difference?  Thank you for all your help.

Answer
Erin, to answer your question, it does make a difference as to the type of orchid.  If you could send a picture, that might be helpful.  If it grows from canes tnat would require one set of recommendations, but if the flower spike originates from basal leaves, that would require a different approach.
