Do not pinch anything out of your Phalaenopsis. They generally only produce one or two flowering stems. The flowers are long lasting and when the last one on a stem has dropped cut the stem back to the nearest node and it will grow a new stem and flower again. If you have a problem type 'Awkward Orchids' into the search box top right and read Spritzhenry's blog - she is an expert on the plants.

Generally, new flowering stems grow on Phalaenopsis in the spring, so with careful feeding and good light, you should get more stems each year. If you are talking about offsets, or new pseudobulbs, on those that do pseudobulbs, again you are talking about good care, and time.
