my orchid mentor told me you can water orchids weakly weekly and do well.
Or you can fertilize a bit more and get more growth and more blooms.
I told him online people have all sorts of different theories, which one is right?
He said listen to the people who grow orchids, not the people that sell orchid fertilizers and tell you how it is done in theory.
In theory growing orchids is easy. In practice you learn it takes effort and a lot of time to figure out the right way to grow them.
Anyway with that being said I am really happy I have my orchid mentor. Because of him I have 2 spikes and 3 new growths on my plant.
If you want a good mentor too, I can recommend pam waters at orchids in bloom who is an excellent grower.
you can find advice she gives on youtube.
This plant was watered and fertilized well all year.
