I have a phrag besseae, but it has not bloomed again since I bought it a year ago. Any suggestions for getting it to rebloom?

I'm no expert on phrags yet but I did rebloom this besseae. I keep it well watered, give it a reasonnably cool winter (15C nights), good light and some regular feeding. I use rainwater and RO water depending on the availability of the first. I feed with different fertilisers in small amounts. I repot whenever needed with a compost that lets as much air in as water. Since this one is a climber, I put a tree fern post in the pot to keep it stable. I hope to find non-climbers besseae to fill the pot below the post, as the old fan will eventually die. Good luck with yours! :)
