How long have you had them since their last bloom?

Ive owned them for about 4 yrs approx two yrs since last bloom

How close are the phals to the tube light?

approx 18 to 36 inches

If your phals are throwing good roots and leaves but still not flowering then it might be they are not getting enough light.

Some dends lose their leaves, but the old pseudobulbs will still store energy for the whole plant. Dends need a bit more light than a phal to flower, so it might need more light as well.

Look forward to hearing from you.
hope that gives you some insite
