Ok, Aleksa, I consider myself as a beginner, but I guess, from what I've read that orchids in nature receive a lot of nutrients when rain carries them down from the tree tops...The roots absorb every nutrient that's coming down with the water and that includes bird poo, rests of smaller animals and other organic materials....Besides that they utilize the high umidity of the air around them....
From what I remember, Vandas do require a lot of feeding, weekly fertilizing sometimes, diluted of course..
Well, let's wait for the rest of the bunch to teach us something more...
See ya!
