No, the old stem is dead, instead : a new growth will start soon or later from the base of the last pseudo-bulb (which just have finished blooming). The new growth will develop a new pseudo-bulb, than a new spike.This is the growing pattern of oncidiums. Sometimes other older ps-bulbs start new growth, too. (Unlike oncidiums, Phalaenopsis can develop new buds on old spikes.)
