If you can give it about a month of night time temps. around 58f and day time temps around 70+F or so you should get a spike quite soon after.
I like to put the leaners up on a shelf so the blossom spike hangs down and you look up into the flower(s).

The room that my phal's are in is kept warm through the day and the heating is turned off during the night so this should be ideal.

sounds like you are doing fine by your plants. Now it's just up to them. They will spike when they are ready.

That's exactly what I have here. I would expect mine to start spiking in Jan/Feb after they have some cold nights over the winter.

I can't wait to see my first phal spike, it was a gift from a friend and means a lot to me and got me into phals so a new bloom would be fantastic
