Yep all is well. You might get a side branch off the initial stem
(spike). Next time it blooms it probably will have more flowers as well
Tell us where you keep it and how you treat it.....Burr
I can't quite make out what the 1/4 of an inch is located so don't know
what your plant is doing. Read these and empty the drip tray out..

HI, thanks for the info. As u can tell I'm a novice at this plant. The
plant is on top of pebbled watered tray, not touching the pebbles at
all. That was my first mistake on another plant that I killed. (how did
u know I had it on a tray, and why empty the drip tray out? Shouldn't it
lie on such a tray for humidity? I have it facing a north east bright
window. The temp reads around 84 degrees. I am not familiar of what some
of the parts called. The 1/4 long is just above where I took off the
faded flower. In fact its protruding just at the node of the remaining
flower.Just what is that called? Anyhow, it seems like a slow grower.
The pot is in a 4" clay, which in itself is in another clear plastic
pot.Why the inner pot? I just watered and fertilized saturday. Lowes
sells them that way. At the rim of the pot are 4 large 'leaves'. I tried
to stick my finger, a pencil into the 'soil'..it seems dry...already? I
killed one such plant by overwatering, and would not like to do that
again. I have an overhead fan rotating most of the day, mainly because
we're going through a medium heat wave here in NYC. and I do see the
remaining flower moving in the slight breeze.
