Fertilizer In Solution vs Dry Mix

[jmrathbun]

I've experimented with a number of popular fertilizers, including the MSU and K-lyte formulae as well as balanced mixes. I've been buying the dry mixes to save money, but I notice the mixes often segregate in the package with fine particles on the bottom and larger ones above. A neighbor in the business used to sell MSU in solution but no longer does.

Do you have recommendations for formulating a concentrate from MSU or another popular mix that I could store in quart containers and add to my one-gallon watering can? My orchids are mostly Phals, Paphs, and Catts with occasional Oncidiums and Dendrobiums.
