Default Go to Sleep, Phalaenopsis Phil

So chop it off and let the plant rebuild its reserves.

I've got this one phal...thing will just NOT stop flowering. This
might sound like a good thing, but the spikes don't have much 'Umph'
once the flowers pop. Flowers are usually small and not in too much
quantity.

It's just sprouting another spikelet that will make three (after 2
already !) currently on the plant. I really wanna give this thing a
break, so it can put more resources into one, large spike.

Go to Sleep !
