Default Phalenopsis

Just returned from a cruise, and on the ship in almost every
shelf in public spaces, they had phal orchids. Most of them had
two flower stalks almost identical in terms of size/age - how
do they (or their growers) achieve that?

Also they all lived in a warm atmosphere with electric lights
on 24 hrs/day.

Oh, and by the way, they were real/live plants, not
plastic/synthetic replicas
