" The idea of watering before fertilizing is antique. You should not water before fertilizing."
You may be correct about over fertilizing. Over the past year I watered everything before applying, but it sounds like I'm wasting it. I might go with an extended release dry fertilizer for orchids. I'm way too scared to try watering the roots dry. I lost 3 others along with this one, (Dendrobium unknown hybrid, a mini Phal., and a regular Phal.) I have a Paph. that survived with no burn at all, go figure?
About the fragrance of the Unknown Onc. hybrid, I'm thinking that maybe it was mixed with "Sharry Baby". I won't know for sure until the one I have (Sharry Red Fantasy) blooms for me. This thing had a very strong, intoxicating, sweet, scent. I've been obsessed with getting it back.
