Default phalaenopsis bud / spike question

Xref: kermit rec.gardens.orchids:50034

hello,
phalaenopsis (in moss) have had 1 year which has grown a spike (~7
inches long) and has 2 buds!! (pink) (fairly large)
is it necessary to support the spike / flowers? (with a stick / stake?)
i am concerned about the well Fare of the plant
(in other words is it beneficial for the spike / flowers to be vertical
vs. semiHorizontal
(it's ~ 30 degrees from the horizontal)
and if so what do i use?
thank you
