Good morning smart people! Anyone know what to do about a Phalanopsis spike curling back into the stem?

I would try to increase the humidity around the spike. Spray it with some lukewarm water and cover it with a wet paper towel. Wetten the towel as soon as it dries. It should help the spike to get out of its shell ☺️

I’ll give it a try. Thanks so much!
