Hi, Kate, & welcome!

Sounds like you have a nice, healthy Phal. If (as I assume) we are talking
about a hybrid, then it should begin to spike in the fall. TMF is correct
about the need for a change in temps. To induce spiking, the plant should
get a few weeks of a range of temps from day time to night time of about
10-15 degrees.

Have you repotted this plant yet? What kind of medium is it in? (Sorry for
the preposition at the end!)

I recently read they need a "cool" period for a few weeks to initiate
blooming. I'm going to leave mine on the porch until the nights are in
the
high 50s to early 60s ... then it's into the sunroom to await the flowers.

The same article said they wont flower if the temperature is above 82.

I have lots of flowers on my Phalaenopsis. They are rarely without
flowers. As soon as one stem drops its flowers another stem develops.
They are kept in a window where there is no direct sun. The
temperature never gets above 70F.
