Does a phal in spike need special treatment?

One is potted in a mix of bark, perlite and spaghnum moss; the other is in bark with a little moss. I water every 6 to 8 days and fertilize three out of every four weeks.

I'm also not quite sure when and where I should stake the new spike.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Congratulations! The only special care they will need is love.
