Liu's Triprince

Does anyone else own this 'lemon'?
I bought it with 2 spikes back in February 2012. Since then - nada, even after all the vodka, the aspirin, the good food and the warm Summer Nights - followed by cooler Fall. Even time wallowing in rain hasn't helped.
I've tried bad-boy talk, cajoling and new media presents, but nothing works. What more can I do ?

More light ?

A farmer's proverb: It doesn't matter to pray - give cow manure instead.
Often when the plant is really strong, it can stand a long rest period after the new lead is finished. Bright light, eventually cooler nights, and the natural shift in daylength -then it should flower.

I do. Mine rebloomed this past summer with 3 spikes. It lives in a basket with moss, foam peanuts and lava rock.

Didn't do anything special to my Liu's Triprince asides from leaving it outside on the fence under the live oak and let it get rained on (and water it down with the hose whenever rain wasn't predicted for a few days). Need to fertilize it more than I have been though...

that really looks good.
As soon as it warms up I am going to put mine outdoors under a tree for a couple of months. I had it outdoors for about 6 weeks and that didn't work.
