Default Little Black Sambo question

I bought a "Little Black Sambo" three years ago. It has put on two new bulbs but no flowers. I feed with Bloom Buster every other week between normal waterings. Would love to know what I can do to make it bloom

Was it a flowering size plant?
Did it give you two pbs in three years???
Mine put out two per year.

How do you grow it?

It may be lack of light as these plants need high light to bloom.

I grow mine in the gh, up near the peak; it will take as much light/heat as you can give it. Make sure your plant stays moist from about mid April until things start to cool down around mid September; it will appreciate regular feeding (I use a 5-1-1 fish emulsion based fertilizer every watering, which is daily during the growing season unless it is very overcast); then cut back on water drastically; I go about every 5-10 days from the end of September to the beginning of April; the plant stays up high in lots of light, but is quite a bit cooler, especially at night. Mine typically blooms in late spring; usually just as nights start to warm up.

Thank you NYCorchidman and StoneDragonFarms. I believe most of my issue, based on your responses, is too little light. I'm going to remedy that and see what happens. Thank you both.
