2 secondary spikes coming out

[fukuchan5459]

Hey all, have a question regarding my phal.

I have a 6 month old phal that I had to repot recently and it is in a vase filled 1/8 with water to give it humidity. I noticed that the longer roots in the potting medium was dead and 4 small green healthy roots were coming out from the 'bulb'.

The phal is not in a medium at this time because the leaves started to dehydrate and droop.

Now, here's my question. Is it normal or OK that the phal is growing 2 separate secondary spikes from 1 older spike? I do not want to cut the spikes off because I don't want to disturb whatever the phal is doing. But can a phal survive with 2 secondary spike on a single older spike?

Sorry I do not have a photo at this time.
