Also, you might want to check the formula to see if the fertilizer has any magnesium in it. If not, you might consider adding a teaspoon of epsom salts to a gallon of your fertilizer water once a month. I do this, even though my fertilizer has magnesium in it. The plants also need calcium, but you're probably getting that from your tap water.
Thanks much for the info re fertilizer for my dendrobium!
As to the other post, I have updated my profile. Thanks for the tip.
