1 year old phalaenopsis, keiki on dying spike

[Mrs_Gal1981]

Hello! My name is Mayra and I’m a total noob. I got my very first orchid last year as a Valentine’s Day gift and I made it my goal to learn about orchidd as much as possible to make it thrive, and hopefully rebloom. Maybe I will learn enough that I will feel brave to get more orchids in the future. Well, we just made 1 year and she seems to be thriving; the leaves are nice, green and shiny and we have new green roots. She even got a new leave a few months ago. However, after the original flowers she came with died, I left the spikes for a while because I didn’t know better, then I read that I should trim them BUT by then, I noticed one of them had what I thought was new reblooming, so I just cut the other one. Well at the time I realized that it was not really blooming flowers, but another "keiki" plant! So I left it alone. I fertilize the leaves of my plant with a special spray for orchids and water it when I see that it needs it (keep it humid, by a bright window). One day I accidentally moved a piece of furniture and I cut / killed the keiki 😪 but I left the "spike" alone and a few weeks ago I noticed another growth of leaves, a new keiki. My questions are: the spike is brown, not green. But I do not want to cut it because of the keiki. And also yesterday I decided to repot it and change the soil since it’s been a year; I bought a special bag of soil mix for orchids and I took it out, I cut the roots that were dry and I put it in the new soil. What I do not know is if I should just trim that brown spike with the keiki, or if the fact that it’s brown means that it is not going to bloom anymore. I do not know if that is preventing the re-blooming or the growth of new spikes. The whole year that I’ve had it, it has not produced flowers again. I know they may be dormant for a long time but I do not know if I am not helping and the keikis are a sign of stress and sucking energy from the mother plant. But I also feel sorry for cutting the baby plant. Help! 😩
