It is most likely not getting enough light. Although these plants will grow in quite subdued conditions, they really need light to flower well. Perhaps move the plant closer to a window but not in direct sunlight.
Cheers,

| Needs time, mine is at a south-west window and is flowering after a year in this position. Be patient as in the ad: "it won't happen overnight but it will happe" You can speed things along by feeding it with fertilizer rich in potash like phostregen |

Also make sure it does not sit in a saucer of water. They don't like that.
Cheers,
