Make life simple, just use a balanced fertilizer all the time, except that Dens should not get any nitrogen in winter, so I don't fertilize at all in winter as it is too difficult to feed some and not others. Most orchids are slow growing and have very low needs for fertilizer. At times I have gone years with almost no fertilizing, as others have also noted they have done.
