I think the same, the plant looks a bit stretched with quite big gaps between the leaves, which look a bit long as well.

Hello friends,

Just dropped in to give an update on my orchid. Finally after long wait and increasing light levels about 2 months ago noticed a new growth that looks like a flower spike but its taking forever to grow so worried if the spike has aborted. How long does it usually take for the flower spike to develop and actually produce blooms? Any help is appreciated. I'm attaching pictures that I tried to take as best as I could.

Patience, patience. Flower spikes can tease you for several months.

Thanks Roberta, good to know it can be several months. Phal flower spike I felt are much faster in growing. But hopefully its just a matter of time. I'm so excited to see this one bloom 😍
