Default Phal - flower spike stopped growing

Has there been any environmental change? In particular, a drop in temps?
Sometimes these factors affect only a spike with buds at "a certain stage,"
so the plants next door that are already in bloom (or even have fatter or
smaller buds) wouldn't show it. Kenni

I have a phal that has already bloomed twice. It started growing it's
third spike about a month ago. I was quite excited because the spike
has four branches. Suddenly last week it just stopped growing. There
are some very small buds on it but they have not matured or grown at
all. Otherwise the plant looks fine.

Should I do something or just wait and see what happens? It is in the
same place that it's always been, along with five other phals that are
blooming like crazy.
