Default Psychopsis Flower Spike

Hi Everyone
Kind of new here on the orchid board, been lurking for a while now. I have one question I was hoping the many experts might be able to help me with. I purchased a Psychopsis papilio about 3 years ago, it had a spike at the time, but had not flowered yet. It is three years onnow, and I still have not recieved a flower, I suspect that my light levels have been way too low. Now the question is, the spike is still green from base to tip and appears healthy, no shrivelling or anything. From other posts I have read this species can stay in flower for extended periods of time on the same spike. Do you think that after three years this spike might be okay? I was wanting to repot it as the media is quite decomposed, but was unsure if I should trim the spike maybe halfway down, and then repot, or just repot and hope for the best. I would love to hear any opinions you might have.

Nick
