I have two of these as well. A friend of mine gave me a cutting about 15 years ago and it only has bloomed once (about 8 years ago). what does it need . Grows and grows and now I even have two. They take cuttings rather well. The first one I got is permantley stuck in a brown "I Dream of Jeanie" type bottle. The second one is in a large pot. Neither one of them has bloomed in so long.

This one is in the window at work and gets some indirect sun in late afternoon. It has grown like crazy, but this is only the second time it has bloomed in 7 years. It bloomed the year before last, just a few, and this year it had blooms all over. It just gets a little water once a week, has never even received any fertilizer. Sorry I don't know the secret. Just sit tight and yours will eventually do something I'm sure.
