Default Phal - flower spike stopped growing

Hi there Jane,
Maybe your plant is just plain tired & needs a rest. They are pretty
smart & know
when they don't have enough energy. Just a thought.
Keep up the good growing,
Cheers Wendy

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.
