New growth of leaves beside main Phalaenopsis

[annie1931]

Somewhere way way back this was mentioned, but I can't find it. I have two leaves growing nicely about 2" from the main plant - from a root I suppose. Now they are kind of fun to see, however I don't want them to turn into something that might drain the energy from my main plant. My main plant is growing a new spike, strong and thick...

1. should I snip the new baby down to discourage growth?

2. Should I leave it alone?

3. Will leaving it alone siphon off energy from the main plant?

4. Will snipping leaves to base really make a difference (because I think more will just grow up anyway)?
