Grown like typical cattleya. Watch, and go with the flow. If it seems to be in a holding pattern, water sparingly, and watch for new roots at the base of the new growth. New roots splurge (not random, but obviously a growth spurt is taking place) usually means it is getting ready to bloom, or grow a new sprout from the base.
I'd let dry quite a bit, water accordingly, and wait.
With the sophronitis in the background, they can take a bit of coolness, and that will help to develop size and color.
Enjoy
Hope I helped.
Take care
may all your orchids bloom like crazy
