Wait on fertilizer after repot

[cluelessmidwesterner]

Hi Everyone,

What is the consensuses on the amount of time one should wait before using fertilizer on a repotted orchid.

I had to one week ago repot a Phal I had purchased the week before in bloom. The media (bark with a moss plug I discovered) was totally broken down. The roots were in fairly good shape considering. She's in fresh bark now and after a week's rest I watered her today - the media was completely dry when I check digging down with my index finger .

Surprisingly after the change in environment and repot in two weeks time, she hasn't dropped any of her flowers or the bud plus I think she's in the process of forming at least one more now. I was wondering how long I should hold off.
