Den aggregatum (aka aggravation) requires cooler, brighter & drier conditions from late Oct till inflorescences appear.
For years I couldn't get mine to bloom, when I left it hanging with other Dendrobiums. Then I moved it up high on the northern wall, and literally did not water it at all from Nov 1st. It promptly bloomed in late February, which is when I started to water again.
This works in a high humidity greenhouse. In a house, I would suggest a light watering every 3 weeks or so.
