Question Spike, buds, roots AND a new leaf?

When watering some of my Phals today, I noticed that one of my P. equestris that's very busy working on developing the buds on its spike, has decided to do some multitasking and grow a new leaf as well.

I've had this notion that Phals work on either leaves and/or roots, or spikes and/or roots, but not buds/leaves/roots... Apparently some of them do.

I really want this little guy to start blooming soon since it'll be its premiere flowering, so I don't know what to think of it diverting energy to producing a new leaf. Don't take me wrong here, it's obviously a happy equestris, but will this new leaf cause the blooming to stall for a bit? I want to be mentally prepared so as not to be too disappointed.



Wonderful, I have two completely nutty cats chasing each-other throughout the flat.
