try moving it a bit out of the range it's in now. It won't hurt the chid and may give it the boost it needs

This is extremely good advice for just about any shy bloomer. It's a permutation of "do what works for you" and that is also one of my favorite pieces of advice.

A few years ago, moving things around or slightly out of their current spot actually made my Paphs bloom for me. I had almost given up on them. I still don't grow them very well, but they sure are happier.
