Phal with terminal spike

[ALToronto]

Arrggh! The first plant to bloom on my first living wall, and it's a terminal spike! I'm surprised it's sending up a spike at all - the root system hasn't established very well yet. I mounted it last June, and it had an old spike on it at the time. It has sent up two leaves since then, and now this.



So what are the chances that it will send up a basal keiki? How do phals with terminal spikes generally fare?
