Question new Vanda Spike seems to have slowed/stopped growing

I have a mid-size semi-terete vanda that is a relatively young plant; If i was being more specific I'd say its about several months from reaching mature size. In its previous location there was slow growth but it had never spiked, only new root growth and slow leaf growth.
I was of the opinion that it wasn't getting enough sun throughout the day plus it wasn't potted properly so i repotted it and moved it to a location that gets a lot of sun throughout the morning and afternoon. After about a month and a half it started to look much healthier and there was plenty of new root growth with lots of green tips. It eventually spiked for the first time ever which suggests to me that it is very happy in its new location.

Here is the issue though, the spike has emerged from the leaf base and looks extremely healthy but after almost 3 weeks maybe even close to a month it doesn't seem to be growing. What is the problem & what can be done to help it grow?
Whats worse is that a younger plant that spiked weeks after it has surpassed it growth-wise.....

HELP!
