Ditto to previous comments - everyone has their own ideas on this one.
The easiest way to start is to purchase a small container of "orchid fertilizer" at any one of your local garden centers, big box stores, plant departments of large multidepartment stores, etc. and use at recommended on the label. Perhaps the easiest method is to water weakly weekly. Make up the fertilizer at 1/3 to 1/4 the recommended dilution and then use every time you water. With time you will, through reading and trial & error on your own plants, come up with what you think is the best solution FOR YOU. Like fertilizing all living plants - they will utilize more when they are actively growing than when they are semi-dormant, so if you see them putting out new leaves and/or bloom spikes - this is when they especially will want some fertilizer. Every few months be sure and run loads of plain water through the media to flush any excess mineral deposits through the media.
