Default Cattleya Portia

This plant requires a LOT of light .... when the bulbs are close to
maturity I move these plants in to full sun just short of burning the
foliage ... Good luck

Any clues on this one? I am still having problems blooming it. After
giving it enough sun that it got some sunburned spots (southern balcony with
shading in the noonday sun in the summer and a southern exposure skylight in
winter), giving it plenty of water (it's in a hydro net pot with medium fine
bark) and threatening it with the Cuisinart, it still does nothing but grow
tons of roots and an occasional new growth. Are these also heavy feeders?
That is the only thing I can think of. And too low humidity?

Anyone got a brilliant idea before I expose it to the freezing temperatures
outside???
