Cutting forked orchid spike

[erikm]

Hello all,

First post here. I have multi orchids but I have one that is especially beautiful. I find it to be so awesome because the spikes have forked multiple times.

My first question is a simple one.. is this a phalenopsis?

Second, now that the flowers have fallen off, I'd like some advice on how to cut it best to keep the forked spikes or do I have to cut it and pray it forks again?

Here is a photo where I have made some markings where I think I could possibly cut it. Please let me know if I am completely wrong!

Thanks all
