Your lack of blooms may be due to no drop of Fall temperature, but since you added that your plant has gone thru 'misery after misery' it just may be too shocked/busy healing to have bloomed last year. How you deal with obtaining a Fall temp drop depends greatly on where you live. I can't 'Summer out' my plants so I 'Fall out', that is put them out 24/7 in about October for a few months; this helps to set flower spikes for Spring. Some homes in colder regions may get a suitable temperature drop naturally, depending on how you like to heat your home.

It would really help if we knew where you live (state, country, hemisphere?)and where in your house you grow your orchids!
