| Lpurpur, did you say that you are using orchid fertilizer at 1/4 strength? I just noticed that in your original post. Sounds lake you may be fertilizing too little. The 1/4 strength is for regular fertilizer, not orchid fetilizer that has already had its label changed to lower strength instructions. Now this is not a big problem. I can truthfully say I have gone for years with fertilizing maybe once every 6 months or so. Plants grew OK. But, who wants all that work for little or no benefit? Cynthia |
