Spike going the wrong direction, what can I do?

[camille1585]

My Gastrochilus japonicus put out 2 spikes a few weeks ago, and one of them (possibly the other as well) is absolutely determined to grow the wrong way. The plant is mounted on cork, so the spike is growing straight towards the cork, I have a bad feeling that it's going to go embed itself in it.

I think the most obvious answer is that it will turn towards the light. So as soon as I noticed that the spike was growing wrong (it was a 1/2cm nub then) I took down the plant (it grows hanging under lights) and laid the mount flat on the windowsill below the light. Not working at all, the spike has turned even further back if that's even possible.

Any ideas on how I can coax it to turn around, or at the very least make it go sideways to avoid ramming into the cork? Or how I can stop the other, smaller spike from going the same route?
