How to stimulate the production of Keiki on Phalaenopsis Plant?

Hi guys,
I would like to ask if you have a way to stimulate phalaenopsis generating keikis from the "spikes"?
Please let me know if you have the idea.
Thank you.

There's a paste you can buy called something like "Keiki Grow." You aparently apply it to the nodes and it initiates the growth of keikis. I've never used it though.

I've been told that cutting a Phal spike short, just a node or 2 above the bottom of the spike is more likely to produce keikis than more flowers. But of course you could get nothing at all too. Maybe the paste is the better way to go.
