Every October mine goes into an unused room, on a shelf about 8 feet away from a window, getting nothing but that little bit of natural light for the month. I usually water it sparingly after about 2 weeks. At the end of October, I bring it to the window that gets indirect southwest sunlight and water it regularly again; by the end of November, it blooms. Happens every year. I think it just needs to be ignored for the month before its bloom time; it needs little light and very little water at that time.
The article written by SongofJoy is excellent.
