It declines at a moderate speed over a few months. Lower leaves will die back first and it will get spindly. Pinch off the flowers as they arise and it will last a bit longer. But for a full show, just let it do its thing and fade away. Collect the seeds, trade a few of them and repeat.
I got some D. indica "scented, pink flower" seeds from shoggoths a few months ago and they've just started taking off. They were under 1cm tall for the last month or so but have almost doubled in height in the last week. Big enough to catch bald eagles fruit flies and fungus gnats now.

MSU orchid food, 1/2 strength, misted on them about once a week. And every month or so I pour lots of rainwater through the soil to remove any build-up.
