Clivia care...when to stop watering?

Some of you will remember my tale of the 7 year old clivia that has never bloomed. I brought it up here to Gainesville with me, hoping the cooler weather would help it finally bloom. Right now, it's not too happy....too much rain, so I'm going tomorrow for perlite so I can repot it.

When do I stop watering it? I know it has to have a cool, dry winter to bloom. I'll have to bring it indoors at some point, and I don't have a sunny window, but do have a bright sliding glass door I can put it near.

Should I fertilize it one last time before I water? I put slow-release bloom pellets on in May, but haven't fertilized it since.

I'm determined to get this to bloom just once before I finally sell it. I can't really ask for money for something that has never bloomed, can I?
