Why won't the 2nd branch form on my phal?

[orchids and plants]

well it may not be a spike of flowers. it may be that the place where you bought it (the supermarket) may have not taken care of it well and it is starting to form a keiki. or its just a sleeping node waiting for the right time to make a new plant. try checking the roots for significant signs of rot

Hey, whats the difference between a sleeping node and a keiki?

Hey one of mine is doing the same thing...there hasn't been a change to that peeping node since I got it like over 3 mo. ago. But I just figured it was being ornery...as it IS the ornery one..lol. Anyways, the blooms are almost spent, so will this sleeping node, as you call it ever develop? Or is it just going to look at me teasingly.

This is also the plant that won't let go of old dead blooms... I have to cut them off...I left one finished bloom to see what it would do( it's been on there 7 weeks now...) So, like I said, the plant is ornery. lol.
Which is why it's good to have more than one.
