If your plant stays doing nothing for a long period, no problem...it will do what it must do when the time has come.
Stay away from alcohol based products, especially on the roots. Alcohol has some applications but only under specific conditions not applicable here. The same goes for peroxide.
I think it's a good practice to seal the cut with cinammon...remember, only the cut, nothing more.
About the light, your orchid it's a Phalaenopsis, a low light plant so don't go overboard with it.
Temp and watering are the most important factor at this stage.

Yeah I need to learn some patience. Lol.
I shall avoid using any alcohol based products and just water
I did stick the bark in the microwave for two minutes incase there was any disease and it was quite wet so might leave it and give it a little water in the morning
