It's also hard to grow them in your climate. They probably would like to be misted constantly in your dry air, but not watered more frequently, so it's a tough balance. Our constant humidity here is good for tropical plants, as long as the room temps are warm enough.
You have done nothing wrong. There's no telling how long it was blooming before you bought it. If it was blooming in December, you probably won't see a bloom on it until the end of this year. Maybe in September or October it will start sending up blossom stems that you'll watch grow for a couple of months before they develop buds and a bloom opens. Once it blooms, the blooms can last for 4 or 5 months. The other 7 or 8 months, you just have green leaves to look at, and little feelers vines. So I guess that's the patience part--remembering to keep giving it a shot glass to drink once a week, even when it's being boring for several months. If I am lucky, maybe I'll be treated likewise.

I am glad that both your plants and your kittehs have such a skilled and caring mom!

(at least my hydrangea is (about) to bloom. And the orchid DOES still have leaves. Just no blooms or indication there ever will be any!)

When did it last bloom? They usually only bloom once a year, and some years they skip.
