I don't know why but lately, I've been on a fertilizing, extra food, additional hormonal treatment for my orchids. This is all new to me as my typical regimen all along has been worm tea with a once a month 20-20-20 fertilizer, that's it! I don't know what's gotten into me but they see me coming every time I'm shopping for supplies....maybe? I think I'm a little uncomfortable with all these additional chemicals though.
Aside from not using all this new stuff on Dends., which fertilizing will cause more keikis than spikes, I've been led to believe that bloom boosters for Phals and Catts are a strong recommendation this time of year for us living in the northern hemisphere. So I go to my orchid supply store and I walked out with additional bloom booster to what I normally use (once a month in winter), and as well, with Seaweed solution for the overall growth on all genera and this stuff called, "Floralicious Plus." Is anyone here using this? Although it's an every other week schedule with bloom booster one week, and the other ingredients (the Floralicious and seaweed) the following week, my gut reaction is telling me, TOO MUCH.
P.S. When I got home, I looked in the mirror and nope, there were no signs on my back that said, "she'll buy anything"
but I think I've gotten too carried away.
Your thoughts appreciated!
too much feeding?
