Hi Stacie, my Phrag just flowered for me for the first time. It's growing in fine bark and I water it when it goes to a dry side, observed it through the translucent pot it is in. Watered it when the pot was clear, without any condensation on the inside. Light wise, mine is on the windowsill all the time. I'd recommend not to keep it wet, and yes, talking does a whole lot of good! keep it up
