OK, Silly Question
Default OK, Silly Question

We bought our first orchids about three months ago after doing some research here on the Orchid Board and on the AOS site. So far all are still alive and show new growth on each plant, even had one new bloom.

We adopted the "weekly, weakly" approach to fertilizing our new arrivals and purchased an MSU type fertilizer. The instructions on the fertilizer container says to mix one teaspoon per gallon of water, though it gives no frequency for fertilizing. Articles I've read on fertilizing says to use 1/4 strength fertilizer each week.

Should I be using the one teaspoon per gallon each week or 1/4 of that strength?
