Coel. Unchained Melody - new growth question

[NYCorchidman]

Congrats!

I had one for about two years.
Mine grew during the spring or late summer. It was rather crazy with the growing season.

Spike developed during the fall or winter, then just sat there until flowers opened around January (both years I had).

You can tell flower spike as it is pointy and do not include leaves as it elongate as I'm sure you have already found out.

Watering is needed year round. I find coelogyne is a water loving plant. I had mine in a water dish.
