What direction is this window facing?

Very high light but no direct sun. The number one reason a Phal would grow
but not flower is insufficient light. Bright enough to produce light green
leaves that are never warm to the touch. Too dim and you get big dark green
leaves, but no flowers.

I often tell people a south facing window just inside the dark shadow line
with lots of spill over light is good enough to flower a Phal. A north
window would probably be too dim and you would never see flowering. It
would get no direct sun at all and never enough ambient light to help it
flower. In both the east and west facing window you would probably have to
provide some shading from direct sun during the summer months to prevent
burning. All this supposes an unobstructed line between sun and leaf
surface.

Has it ever bloomed before? It may also still be an immature plant. Some
of these large whites get leaf spans like 24 inches across before they
bloom. You can expect that in a group of seedlings, some plants will bloom
while still quite small, like under 12 inches, and others will grow many
years and much larger before flowering even if all other conditions are met.
Some may not have what it takes genetically, for whatever reason, to ever
bloom. It happens. If you continue to do everything right but never see a
flower threaten it with a microwave. This has worked for me.

Okay, this is a Phalaenopsis (can tell by the name). Please tell us your
growing conditions: where you are, where the plant is, what the temps
are,
etc. Then we can help, and will be glad to do so.

Just as general information, however, Phalaenopsis do not like very sunny
locations, and it is quite normal for them to lose old leaves as the new
ones grow.
