Switching to a blossom booster type fertilizer is actually switching to a fertilizer with less nitrogen. In the winter the plants are growing more slowly and do not need as much nitrogen. DynaGrow has a good low nitrogen fertilizer, and an MSU type would also be good.

Well, it is bloom booster for other plants and for Cymbidiums, but most people have found that it does not help the average orchid. Cynthia
