If the plant blooms of its own free will, leave it be, it's happy! I never cut spikes and let them do their thing as job as they're green. As a result I have one phal that hangs on to it's old spikes that keep extending, all the while growing new spikes. Now it's decided that that's not enough, and is sprouting multiple sideshoots on the old spikes (which are still extending to produce buds). As a result the monster has 6 blooming spikes with another 5-6 side spikes. Been in NONSTOP bloom since December 6th 2008, and it's as happy as a clam. All that to tell you to let your phal do what it wants.
