My Cymbidium is spiking, now what?

[camille1585]

My Cym which I bought three and a half years ago, is finally spiking. Turns out I wasn’t giving it enough light. Sun part of the day wasn’t enough, it needed it all day! So now there is a single spike growing, already a few inches high. Could be better, considering that the plant probably has 20+ growths. The cym is still outdoors for now, enjoying the sun, but at what point should I bring it in? Lately the night temps are in the low 50s. And what temperature does it need indoors to ensure the spike doesn’t blast? Basically, I just need to know what to do with the plant from this point onwards. And finally, how long does it take (on average) to bloom from the moment the spike appears?
