Question Vanda Issues

Hi all! I haven't posted in ages and have been agonizing over this evil vanda I have and trying to figure out why it won't do anything. I've had it about a year and got it from a vendor in south florida. Here is how i am currently growing it:

1. Exposure: South window, 23rd floor, great light!
2. Water 1x a week, fertilize roughly every other watering (not as much in the winter)
3. Good air movement w/ 6" desk fans
4. Humidity is stable around 50-70%
5. Media is a mixture of wine corks and coarse fir bark with some sphagnum on top to hold in moisture

This vanda is a Trevor Rathbone. In the year I've had it, it put out 3 leaves reaaaaaaaaly slowly and nothing else. It is currently putting out its 3rd new leaf since I've had it. I attached a picture to this posting to give you an idea of how large it is - its in an 6" pot.

Can any vanda growers out there give me any advice? Anything I should change about my growing? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks! ~Becky
