orchid care calendar???

[SShide77]

Does anyone have, or know where I can find, a calendar of care for orchids? Such as, when to fertilize, when to repot, what kind of fertilizer to use when..etc. for different types of orchids...

Thanks!

Well.....the monthly magazine put out by the Australian Orchid Council contains a chart each month telling what you should be doing each month, but of course all of our seasons are switched (Jan = July, Feb = August, etc). I could probably put somethgn together but it will be a couple of weeks at least before I would be able to do that.

Thanks, there's really no need to do that though. I dont want you to go out of your way. I was just wondering if anyone had a link to a website or had a copy of something they might be able to send.

SShide77 - One difficulty with having one link with all the information is the timing will depend on what orchid you are talking about. Different orchids bloom and grow at different times of the year. Repotting, fertilizer, dividing and other maintenance should take this into consideration.

If Kevin is putting something together, then it will surely take all this into consideration.
