The best way to produce more & more frequent flowers, is to grow the plant to maturity. Plants sold in box stores are first bloomers, which have been forced in every way imaginable.

Give them time to rest and grow up. When plants are mature, they often bloom several times a year, with much larger spikes.

For evidence of this, see thread on Asctm Mona Church in the Vandaceous forum.

Sadly, this one is a NoID phalaenopsis. Closest I can find to it is the Chiada Francis 'picotee', but I can't be sure

I don't like to force anything to do anything it does not want to do. I like to encourage it to do what I want with positive reinforcement training. I find this works for plants and dogs.
