Getting Laelia to branch out?

Hi all, I have a Laelia purpurata var. carnea that is growing in one direction, pretty much just straight with one pseudo bulb after another. I've seen these plants grow really big and "branch" out in different directions, such as in this picture Laelia purpurata 'Purp One' Plant | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

My question is, if I want my plant to grow into something like that is there anything I have to do to get it to start growing in different directions? I read somewhere that putting keiki paste on a dormant eye might get it to start growing, does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!
