Least effort job resulting in favorite look

So when I bought this rescue, it had so badly overgrown and crammed itself into moss and bark mix it was growing in, it was basically just a tangled root mass with almost no medium left.

I wasn't sure what exactly to do with it, and what I ended up trying to do was basically turning the root mass into a "cork" at the top of a shaped vase, and watering it extremely frequently until the newer bulbs began to root up. I figured all the humidity would have to go past the roots to get out of the jar, and with frequent waterings that would be enough.

This is a year in and I just love the way it looks. My only issue with it is that it wants to keep sending out new shoots and hasn't wanted to flower yet. Two of the bulbs look really good, and seem to be full size. Hopefully, it will flower soon. If you zoom in, you can see two things, the first being the root porn, and the second being that there's some kind of tiny little plants that managed to get seeds into the pot while it was outside this summer, and they've actually worked their way down and sprouted, and have created their own little terrarium spaces in there and seem to be living just fine. I'm thinking that indicates a pretty healthy environment in there with plenty of moisture and oxygen.

A couple of my oncidium types, including this one, want to send out lots and lots of new growth instead of maturing up and flowering the existing bulbs. Any ideas on why that may be?
