Fertilizing my phals
Hi again OB,
I've been i've been fertilizing my phals weakly weekly for about a year in tepid tap water but today i've received some Dyna-Gro. Orchid Pro (7-8-6) from peter white of peter white orchids of the UK which he said is really good, also i've started collecting rain water which peter recommends.
What is the best way to fertilize orchids?
My normal practice is to use tepid fertilized water in a bowl and let the orchid sit in it for about 10 mins.
Is it best to always use another batch of clean fertilized water to do another and not the same water another orchid has been in?
Is it best to let the orchid sit in fertilized water or just run it through the pot as i do this sometimes?
I always flush my orchids with fresh water once a month too to remove any build up of salts.
It would be nice to get some feedback on how the pros feed their orchids.
Thanks again Kev.
