Best liquid organic fertilizer

[JMLand]

With organic I never get fertilizer burn, I can put paphs in sphag moss, feed plants more regularly and not have to worry about the ph of my water.
I grow organic because it eliminates many growing problems and shows better and more steady growth. An orchid in the wild doesn't get its nutrition from chemicals so why feed them chemicals? Just my thoughts.

I'm sorry and no offense please, but those statements are just so incorrect in so many ways that I wouldn't know where to start rebutting them, except maybe to point to a near identical thread from last week if I can dig it up. Just for starters an orchid in the wild most certainly does get its nutrition from chemicals (and sunlight). I don't think organic means what you think it does.

Most often, it is not the type of fertilizer used but the rate of application. If you allow orchids to dry too much between watering or use too strong a dose, the salts from the fertilizer go to the leaf tips and cause the "burn". It has nothing to do with organic vs non-organic.

If you have ever been to any areas where orchids grow wild, the condition of the plants is far less than the optimal state us hobbyists would like to see in our collections. To do well, orchids need nutrients supplied by the growers. We are not growing out in the wild with the same rains containing minute amounts of micro-elements and minute amounts of nitrogen generated by nature.

Such heresy! The "fact" that orchids grow much better in the wild is one of arguments used over at Slipper Talk to explain the need for "K-Lite". I once stated the opposite and one of the rabid defenders of "K-Lite" asked if I had ever been out of the city.
