Liza,
First of all, check the 'Cymbidium Alliance' forum and browse though the earlier postings for some immediate general cultural help and to become familiar with some of the terms. Check the culture section for Cyms too.
Without knowing how long you have had your plants and therefore how many years since they have bloomed, it is difficult to answer your question. Here are some quick questions to consider:
1) How long since they have been repotted? Every three years is the general rule of thumb.
2) Where are they growing? Low light inside the house or outside will keep most Cyms from blooming.
3) Are you fertilizing? Once a week, with a weak dose of a balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) as an example, or one application of 6-month slow release granules, is the minimum to use. There are other more complicated methods if you want to spend the time.
4) What is your drainage? Cyms need good drainage and roots will die if their feet are left in standing water 24/7.
