Thanks Arlene - I'm still trying to sort through this fertilizer stuff. Do you use the same general fertilizers on all your orchids? I only have a small collection of catts., phals. & dens. Richard's post, above, has given some suggestions for using which fertilizer for different types of orchids. I found this helpful.
