    In my case, I keep one of my phals within 1ft (33cm) from a big southern window with full sun behind a sheer curtain. (it's not the one in the photo). The light level is high.
    The spike grew 3 nodes then started developing buds. The buds are 7, becoming bigger and bigger and the spike has remained short, so I think you should ask yourself: would you rather have a large spike and less buds or a medium spike and more blooms?
