Default Spike training for show plants

HI everyone!

I have a number of hybrid phal that are all hav3e spikes coming in right now. Most of these plants ribboned last year at my local shows. I am pretty comfortable with how to spike my single spikes and train them for showing. I typically take them so they arch over the the plant to keep it balanced better and to display the blooms well when in a display.

My question is on how should i handle plants in double and triple spike?

Treat each spike as if it's the only spike and train them to bloom in same direction towards light, giving them about 4-6 inch distance from other spikes ... that will creat a cascade over plant. Good luck!
