Hi and welcome. The adage around here is fertilize weakly weekly, just search fertilizer and you should find your answers. I did not fertilize my blooming phals very much maybe once every two weeks to four weeks. I know there are varying opinions. Misting is okay, but be careful of the crown or you may get rot, never mist late in the day so that they have plenty of time to dry out by nightfall. I rarely get the crown wet on my phals, and if I do, I dry them immediately to avoid rot.
