This next summer, I'll start with a regular fertilizer regimen. I'll also start it in a shady spot and move it gradually to more sun (mostly morning, since the afternoon is quite harsh).

We'll see if that generates any interest in blooming.

And to update...this vanda has never bloomed in 11 years.
I too would agree that it would have to be the light. Play around with it this summer and let us know what results you get. If you can try and give it as much light as possible now, this can also help.
