Default I broke the flower spike!!

I finally did what I'd always feared. I broke a flower spike that was
about 6" high and very thin. Should I cut off the rest or is there a
chance it will continue to grow from the break?

I'M SO MAD!

It's a phal. There's about 4" left.

if there is a node on the stem left, it will sprout a new flowering
stem from there.

I know how you feel I babied mine for so long and then I broke the
spike so I am not sure if it will ever flower again. I don't have a
bud or anything I do keep taking care of it I transplanted it and the
leafs are doing great but no spike.
