Pinching Flowers

[Anee]

Alright so, I've been left with two mini orchids and they are doing very well, plant-wise. Both growing new leaves and roots.

But something is going on with one of them. When it had flowers, they were starting to dry up while it was in the tight pot that I bought it in. So I repotted... but the buds just kept getting spent. I didn't want to keep looking at a failed orchid experience, so I pinched the flowers and the buds off, but I didn't pull them off.

It has one large stem with two branches, and it seems that some growth is returning on the very end of the main stem. But I don't see anything new off of the rest of the old spikes. Did I screw up by pinching everything off? Are the spikes just dormant now???
