Purchasing blooming phal orchid in Fall

[spinrah]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and also fairly new to orchids. I understand that phal orchids typically bloom in late winter and early spring. But, I just purchased one that is currently in bloom. What will this mean for its next bloom cycle? Should I not try to induce blooming and let it skip the next year to get it back on a regular bloom cycle? Or does it not matter for indoor orchids when they bloom?

Thanks!
