Should I continue to fertilize?

[elitebettas]

Hi guys,
Well right now my Howeara Lava Burst, and an Oncidium Twinkle, and one of my Phals have started to spike. I used a little worm tea last week, but usually fertilize weekly weakly with 20-14-13 fertilizer. Is it okay to keep fertilizing with this formulation when in spike ? I've heard too much nitrogen is not good when they are getting ready to flower...

hi

i keep 'weakly' fertilizing my phals during blooming period using npk balanced (7-7-7) fertilizer and they seems happy with it.

cheers.

My howeara Lava Burst is in bloom too and i still fertilize weekly weakly and give a little mist of worm tea every couple of days, it seems to like it!!!! Second time for mine to bloom too!!!

Must be the time for flowering Howeara. My Lava Burst has 5 spikes with
numerous buds. Second bloom this year.
