Just treat like you have been. It will flower again in about 6 months.

your orchid stick maybe a dendrobium, they look like sticks after dropping their leaves, wrap the base with chopped coco husks soaked for 5 minutes in rooting hormone, dip your orchids too for about 1 minute, put it in a 6 inch clay pot in a sunny area, east or south or west part of the house, mix 1 gallon of water to 5 ml rooting hormone, and use this to spray and to water, if possible, dip the pot into the rotting hormone for 1 minute every 3 days, until the roots are stablished and new shoots start to show, fertilize with 30-10-10 (NPK) for growth at 7 day intervals, after 45 days fertilize by spray 10-30-30 to induce flowering @ 7 day intervals when the leaves are large enough again for 45 days, fertilize with 30-30-30 until buds start to appear and stop fertilizer application
