| the major cause of orchids not flowering is lack of sunlight.
Yours however is a primary hybrid of two laturia dendrobiums (cruentum x bellatulum). these can be a lot of trouble. I have a spectabile for 4 years without flowers - professional growers advice was no water in winter - lots of water in winter - easy on fertilizer - heavy on fertilizer - bright sun - shade -- you get my point.
Since they were trying to sell me hundreds of these I assure you they were telling me what they believed. truth is they bloom when they like their conditions whatever that may be.
I know one hobbyist that waited 9 years for his spctabile to bloom - patience and next time ask before you buy so that if you do not want a difficult to grow plant you can buy accordingly
