Clivia -- how encourage bloom?

Hi.....I'm new to clivia, so this is probably a very basic question. I picked up a nice budded clivia at a horticultural show back in February. It bloomed not long after I brought it home, then went into what I assume is its normal rest period.

When the weather warmed up in early May I put it on my screened-in porch, in bright shade (no direct light). I didn't repot it because I know they prefer to be in a snug container and the one it was in seemed fine.

Should I be seeing signs of a new bloom cycle sometime soon? The plant overall looks perfectly healthy and happy, but I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do beyond light watering to encourage it to bloom again? Should I be giving it a jolt of fertilizer? Or is it too soon to expect it to put on another show?

Many thanks!
