    Default Why is this orchid spike behaving this way?

    Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've posted on this forum. I have a question for you. All of my 5 phals are in spike. All spikes are growing nicely, except one. The spike on this one has grown to about half an inch, and then stopped growing ever since, about three weeks ago. The roots on this plant are growing like crazy, also it has a secondary spike with five buds on it. Why is this happening? Why isn't the new spike growing? Is there something I could do?
