Yes Louis, you can get another spike to form from the main one if you cut
it around the highest node below the blooms and that will produce buds and
blooms during the same blooming season. I prefer to cut mine down to the base in order to give the plant the needed energy supply it needs so that
the flowers next blooming cycle are usually bigger and more plentiful. I find
the blooms from a secondary spike are not as big or numerous as the initial
one.
