Welcome to the forum rfkhky!

Another reason for no spikes could just be this: if your orchids were mistreated prior to your care and you repottied and nursed them back to health this year, they will probably skip a year of blooming. The phals definately need a 20 degree drop in temp at night during the fall to initiate spikes and the catts probably are not getting enough light.
